Walthers Mainline 910-8774 Caboose N&W Norfolk & Western #518556 HO Scale

Get your HO freight trains rolling safely with the Walthers Mainline International Car Company Wide Vision Caboose! First introduced in the early 1960s, these models let crews see over the large freight cars. They're based on prototypes with a full - width cupola ending at the car roof edge. Key features include: prototypes used from the 1960s to 1980s (some still in use as shoving platforms), a wide - vision cupola with two window styles, a Stanray overhanging diagonal panel roof, thin see - through running boards, finely molded end ladders, scale - thickness end railings, an underbody toolbox, molded drill starter points for grab irons (easily added with the separately sold Caboose Detail Kit #910 - 201), Barber Swingmaster roller bearing trucks with 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using this Walthers Mainline caboose is simple. Just place it at the end of your HO freight train, and it's ready to go! When handling the caboose, be gentle with the thin running boards and finely molded parts to avoid breakage. For maintenance, you can use a soft brush to clean the dust off the model. If you want to add grab irons, use the Caboose Detail Kit #910 - 201 sold separately. Drill at the molded starter points carefully and attach the grab irons. Keep the caboose in a dry place to prevent any damage to the metal parts like the couplers and wheelsets.
