Bluford Shops N 43071 International Car Company Half-Bay Window Caboose Phase 3 Chicago & North Western CNW #11180

Chicago & North Western received this group of 50 International Car phase 3 bay window cabooses in 1967. By this time, C&NW had shifted to yellow lettering and the 'Chicago and North Western Railway' version of the logo as they were not yet Employee Owned. It’s unclear if the roofs were galvanized or painted silver but the crews would have appreciated it either way.

Bluford Shops International Car Bay Window Caboose Phase 3 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. This N Scale International Car Window Caboose Phase 3 car has a dual-pane window on a wide bay. The ready-to-run model 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.
