Reading Caboose

This is a picture of a Reading Caboose on the Slate Picker, in the middle 70s, that Chris Lynch gave me while I was in the hospital in Burlington. I will admit that I do not remember it but we had lots of junk back then. I came across a cheap Reading caboose at the show in Hartford and said what the heck. I'll grunge it to look like that one. Check out the number on the real one and the HO caboose. What are the chances of that???
