Re: Replica D&RGW caboose 'preserved'?

I believe that a guy down in Fife, Wa. ( between Puyallup and Tacoma) built it. Sat as his farm with other equipment including the coach mentioned. I seem to remember that all of this stuff was sold off a few years ago. First time I saw it back in the mid-80's I was baffled and no one I knew at the time had much knowledge of it. Glad to see the caboose was restored. It looks like it's sitting on more than just a display track. Anyone know where this place is?
