You may contract a shipper yourself or by default, we will pass your items on to UPS Store #2630 on Kingston Pike here in Knoxville for shipping. Shipping is between buyer and shipper!!  The buyer of the cabooses will be responsible for contracting someone to dismantle the cover, loading and hauling cover, caboose and rails from property without damaging property any more than what is necessary. Repair of ruts and any major damage will be responsibility of the buyer and their contracted hauler.  Buyers of the signal on stand and the track switches will be responsible for unbolting them from the railroad ties and loading them.  There are very heavy items in this auction.  Buyers will need to bring help with them help to carry and load.  Bring boxes and packing material for the small items.  NO ONE will be allowed in the cabooses at pickup unless needed to help pickup your heavier items!!!  NO EXCEPTIONS!!  No Lookie-loos!!!  The cabooses are way to small and cramped for anyone to just look and see because you’ve never seen one before.  Sorry but we can’t have an open house.   Be your own judge as to proper names, age, condition and use of items in the catalog.  If we have misnamed something, let us know and we will correct it.
