Model Railroading > Caboose Hobbies

Re Caboose Hobbies,
​I got an email from Caboose Hobbies saying that there is good news to come.
​Check out the web site.
​Here's hope yet!

The one I got says they are now handling the preorders, and backorders. You can also do preorders through them again.

Yes, I saw on Facebook they announced "BIG news is coming...stay tuned!"

Last weekend I saw a couple of brass collectors at a show and told them Caboose is closing . . . they claimed, not so. Guess we'll see.

If J.R. Ewing could come back from the dead after being killed off on a season climax of Dallas, why shouldn't Caboose Hobbies come back as well!

I too received the same e-mail earlier today stating that NEW Pre-orders can be made through the website. New regular orders cannot be made through the website at this time, leading one to believe, someone is going to run Caboose through the web.

There was someone who stated, that CH will continue under a new owner, and the new owner was an O-Scale dealer in the Denver area. We will see who is the new CH leader very soon!

Think this was stated way back when as to someone taking it over and I think that the internet was mentioned.

I'm trying to figure out if this is the same owner or not, I'm getting that it's the old name with a new owner.

Also it appears to be a non-brick and mortar store, with the old name. Anybody have better info?
