So I wanted to show the images anyways, so I uploaded them to photobucket.  The first link shows the unit taken apart.  Not sure if it is a dummy, or just  waiting for something to be put in it.

Thanks again

Whew - step away for a couple hours and look what happens.  Thanks to all who have responded - some great conversation.  Thought it was time to post some pictures.  I did end up opening it up, and there was nothing.  I've got it as the last unit and it actually pulls around quite nice.  I may try putting it second and see how that looks too.

*** seems to be some issue with uploading an image.  It is only 3kb, but saying the folder is full.  Oh well.  The inside of the B unit is steel, but with nothing in the middle, sort of hollowed out.***

Thanks again for everyone's responses and time.  Much appreciated.

PS for jbrock27 - Go Wings!!   Should be interesting in the Eastern Conf this year.

I did open up the caboose, broke it in half but there was no puck.  Hmmmm.

Just kidding.  I did try putting it on the track with nothing else, but it didn't budge.  Was just curious on why it was so much heavier than all of the others.  Oh well.  If anyone has any other ideas/thoughts I will welcome them.

Thanks

Hi - I received a Hawthorne Village "Original Six" NHL train set some time ago and have just set it up on a track mounted near the ceiling in my den.  I love how it works.  My question is about the "Original Six" caboose (at least I think it is).  It is much heavier than all of the other cars, except the engine, which is just as heavy.  Is that powered as well and I should be using it as the last car?  I'm afraid it will be too heavy and slow everything down.  After writing this I guess I will just try it, but wanted to get some opinions from the experts.

Thanks so much

Mike
