I saw a sped-up version of this on the news, noticed the G scale caboose but didn't see it was lettered Rio Grande. Upon closer inspection, this looks like a caboose that was part of a cheap Christmas train set that utilized/ripped off Bachmann's old idea of a D battery-powered train with plastic track. I remember seeing my parents buying one of these at Home Depot back around 2010 or 2012. It was a neat introduction to large scale for me but the engine and plastic track quickly fell apart and I remember dirtying up actual large scale track at a Local Model RR Club Member's layout with the plastic wheels.
