    Hi Y'all,

    I found another NWSL caboose that I really like and would like to buy. However, one of the three step ends is damaged. Please see the picture attached.

    Can this be easily repaired? How so? Or should I just pass this one by, hoping it comes up again?

    Thanks,

    Manny

    caboose steps are available as a zinc casting from walthers, that might fit. it would have to be super glued in place. The only other alternatives is build one from brass, soldered together. you will have to rate your own solding fabrication skills.

    Manny,

    I have two end-platforms with steps from an old Roundhouse kit. Send me your address via PM, and I will put them in the mail.
