I remember REA, including their trucks and the depot they had at the east end of the Penny's Sunnyside yard. I also remember that when we went on vacation by train in the 40s, my mother packed a large trunk that was picked up the day before we left home and delivered to our hotel 2-3 days after we arrived. There was a similar delay on the return to home. I don't know where the delivery delay occurred but is always struck me as less than "express" service. Mark

John, Some years ago, some of the present-day Aristo Craft G gauge product line was sold under the name REA Express. This includes the green REA caboose that you saw on Ebay, which is now known as the large steel-style Aristo caboose ( a great caboose ). Aristo continues to use the REA red diamond-shaped logo. cheers

To add to Richard Smith's Air Farce posting, I think it was the Readers Digest that ran the following: Mr. Jones has been promoted to a detective on the Police Farce. Mr. Jones wrote to the paper and demanded a correction. They obliged. 'We regret the error. Mr. Jones is a defective on the Police Force'. My brother was in the US Army Air Force during WWII; at times I have my worries. Art
