Bluford Shops N 44280 International Car Company Half-Bay Window Caboose Phase 4 Southern Pacific #1406

Southern Pacific ordered 200 phase 4 bay window cabooses from Pacific Car & Foundry for delivery in 1961. They were assigned class C-40-4. This was the only class delivered with the bay windows painted orange, although repainted cars from earlier classes had been receiving orange bays for a few years. We know at least one of these cars survived well into the 1980s with its solid orange bays intact.

Bluford Shops International Car Bay Window Caboose Phase 4 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 4 has a steeper pitch on wide bay sides, a dual-pane window and flatter top on the bay window. 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.
