Walthers Mainline 910-8773 Caboose N&W Norfolk & Western #518542 HO Scale

Walthers Mainline presents the 910-8773 Caboose N&W Norfolk & Western #518542 in HO Scale. This International Wide-Vision Caboose is ready to run. Introduced in the 1960s, it allows crews to see over larger freight cars. These HO models are based on prototypes with a full - width cupola ending at the car roof edge. Key features include: prototypes in service from the 1960s to 1980s (some still used 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 appropriate underbody toolbox, molded drill starter points for grab irons (easily added with a 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 easy. Just place it at the end of your HO freight train, and it's ready to roll. When handling it, be gentle with the thin running boards and end ladders to avoid breakage. For maintenance, clean the wheels regularly to ensure smooth movement. If you want to add grab irons, use the Caboose Detail Kit #910 - 201 sold separately. Drill at the pre - molded starter points carefully. Keep the caboose in a dry place when not in use to prevent any rust or damage to the metal parts like the couplers and wheelsets.
