Bluford Shops N 40140 International Car Company Half-Bay Window Caboose Toledo Peoria & Western TPW #508

Toledo Peoria & Western was unrelated to NYC but also adopted the half-bay window design for some of their cabooses. Two of these are represented in this run. Both wear TP&W’s red/orange used on their locomotives with white racing stripes. The 508’s road number uses the speed-block lettering style while the 509 has a larger gothic road number plus ACI tags.

Bluford Shops International Car Half-Bay Window Caboose is based on the family of steel bay window cabooses developed by International Car Company beginning in the early 1950s. Over the years the design of the bay windows evolved, and this version represents the half-bay window ordered by New York Central and its affiliates and used into the Conrail era. The N Scale International Car Half-Bay Window Cabooses features wire grab irons, body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers, close coupling and Fox Valley Models metal wheels. Ladders and running boards are included on appropriate paint schemes for each version.
