Bluford Shops N 41131 International Car Company Half-Bay Window Caboose Phase 1 Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis 'Dixieland Slogan' NC&StL #95

The Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis built their NE-5 class cabooses in their own West Nashville Shops in 1940. This marked the first appearance of the Phase 1 bay window design that would later be adopted in large numbers by Southern Railway and Erie. These cars utilized underframes from retired stock cars. NC&StL merged into Louisville & Nashville in 1957.

Bluford Shops International Car Bay Window Caboose Phase 1 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 each phase features a number of bay window style and other detail variations. The N Scale International Car Window Caboose Phase 1 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.
