Walthers Mainline 910-8775 Caboose NS - Norfolk Southern #555538 HO Scale

Get your HO freight trains running safely with the Walthers Mainline International Car Company Wide Vision Caboose. Introduced in the 1960s, these HO models are based on prototypes with a full - width cupola ending at the car roof edge. The caboose is ready to run and comes with many great features. It was in service from the 1960s to 1980s, and some are still used as shoving platforms today. It has 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, and an appropriate underbody toolbox. There are also molded drill starter points for grab irons, which can be easily added with the separately sold Caboose Detail Kit #910 - 201. It's equipped with Barber Swingmaster roller bearing trucks and 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, along with Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using this Walthers Mainline caboose is easy. Just place it at the end of your HO freight train, and it's ready to roll. When handling the caboose, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate parts like the thin running boards and the finely molded ladders. For maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft brush to remove dust. If you want to add grab irons, use the Caboose Detail Kit #910 - 201 as per the instructions. Also, check the trucks and wheelsets regularly to ensure smooth movement. Store the caboose in a dry place to prevent any rust or damage to the metal parts.
