Atlas 50006318 NE-6 Caboose - Monongahela #71 (red, white, black, MRY Logo) N Scale

This Atlas N scale caboose model, numbered Monongahela #71, comes in striking red, white, and black colors with the MRY logo. The picture might show a different road number. It's based on a 1940s standard caboose design by the International Car Company of Kenton, Ohio. Commonly linked with the New Haven Railroad, this body style was also used by other rail lines. These cabooses had a long - running operation, even into the diesel era. Key features include being ready - to - run, having finely detailed end rails, smokestack, and ladders, brake line detail, a weighted chassis, appropriate friction - bearing or roller - bearing caboose trucks, factory - equipped AccuMate® couplers, accurate painting and printing, and railroad - specific features. There are two body styles: the New Haven with windows closer to the cupola and the Nickel Plate with windows further from the cupola.

Using this Atlas N scale caboose model is easy. It's ready - to - run right out of the box, so you can quickly add it to your N scale railroad layout. When handling it, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely detailed parts like the end rails, smokestack, and ladders. The brake line detail is also delicate, so take care not to break it. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. If it gets dusty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Check the couplers regularly to make sure they are in good working condition. Also, keep an eye on the wheels and bearings. If you notice any issues with movement, you may need to clean or lubricate them. Just remember, this is a small and detailed model, so handle it with care to keep it looking great and working well for a long time.
