This caboose was donated to the City of Cotter, and placed in a city park. Unfortunately, after a couple of years it was set on fire by vandals. It sat derelict for a few years but was finally moved to another city park and externally restored.

Made by Third Dot Arms the MP-62 is the successor to the MP-61, one of the most widely used Machine pistols on the market. It features a number of upgrades over its older brother including a smaller slide, or as Third Dot calls it a "Hybrid Bolt" which reduces recoil, a select fire trigger, lighter composite materials, and a rear arm rest to help stabilize the weapon when firing one handed. It also fires the larger 40 Cal. round, but in return has a slower firing rate then the MP-61 in full auto.

Ik kreeg een melding dat de MP 3031 van het Spoorweg museum onderweg was richting Amsterdam.

Hier zien we de bruine MP 3031 Spoor 15 van Amsterdam CS passeren.

De Motor post reed als dienst bij de PTT OF Post Telegraaf en Telecom.

Motorpostrijtuigen zijn speciaal gebouwd voor het vervoer van post. Een motorrijtuig kan zichzelf voortbewegen, ze lijken technisch en qua uiterlijk op rijtuigen van het type Plan V. De ‘Motorposten’ hebben een oppervlakte van 41 m2, een laadvermogen van 15 ton en kunnen 200 ton trekken. Aan beide zijden van de rijtuigen zijn 3 grote schuifdeuren voor het laden en lossen van de rolcontainers met postzakken. In de trein is ook een kleine sorteerafdeling. Het materieel is in eerste instantie bruin, later met een geel front. In de jaren 80 krijgen alle postrijtuigen een geel/rode kleur. Een groot gedeelte van het postvervoer is ’s nachts. Vanaf 1990 is er vooral ’s nachts veel onderhoud aan het spoor wat het postvervoer ernstig hindert. In 2001 besluit PTT daarom al het postvervoer via de weg te doen. Daarmee worden de postrijtuigen overbodig. Eén motorrijtuig schenkt de PTT aan het Spoorwegmuseum.
