Hi all.
Four wheeled cabooses were usually known as "Bobber" cabooses.
Source. Caboose (book) Brian Solomon & John Gruber 2001.
They date back to the early days of the Railroad but lasted for a long time especially on short lines.
Colin.

Excellent photos, guys. @Brandon; I've done the BR211 V100 with one coach many times. @AK; I'm looking forward to my new BR141 with a couple of Silberlinge. Cheers,Peter

Not the shortest, but looks extremely similiar to a past Marklin set, minus the road name of the motive power:  Rio Grande Zephyr (Tabernash, Colorado, 1972) |

How about a 218 with one coach?   And a a bonus, how about seven 216s with even less, a very short zero coaches!  |

No coaches is probably cheating. Here's a short one:  CN Clarke's Beach, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 1982. There aren't any other details for this photo, I suspect a work train or car return trip. |

Ok, ok, ok: Since the above is a little bit depressing now for something related, but off-topic - large Milwaukee Road loco with not so short train sporting a beautiful observation car (Milwaukee, 1968). Alsterstreek attached the following image(s): |

Not sure if this counts as "big loco", but half way there...most of us could model this, even if it's a "wussy" shunter :)  -Brandon |

Yes, I might. That explains why your photo is black and white, while I recall the movie being in colors. Now, then: Wild West logging railway short passenger train with standing room only. Alsterstreek attached the following image(s): |

That was a bit off topic, something must have short circuited. To make up for it:  CNJ pulling (and pushing) a commuter consist toward Cranford Station (Cranford, New Jersey), 1977 -Brandon |

This would also fit under the mixed railroads thread, but I rather post it here due to the short train: Dutch loco with two German TEE coaches at Amsterdam CS in 1974. Alsterstreek attached the following image(s): |

Excellent find That's part of the Rheingold train. A regular sight in the days of the TEEs Which was then merged with the part coming from Hoek van Holland and went all the way to Mannheim, be split again with one part going to Basel/Geneve and the other to Stuttgart and München All these can be simulated on your layout! |

Yes Tom, You are right.  And my FD is probably right, too, when stating that I need reading glasses.  So, this still qualifies for the "mixed railroads" thread instead, since there is at least one Italian FS car involved.  |
