These replica numbers are pulled from the RI’s 1970 group of ICC Bay Window Cabooses.  In fact, they are the only two known white repaints from the 1970 20-car class.  This order had a slightly taller body than 1966 and 1967 Rock Island orders.  Notice the extra vertical body space above the bay window.  The side corner sealed windows changed to rounded aluminum frames, compared to earlier orders with gasketed windows.  The conductor’s desk window has an accurate framed sash\/screened window, just like the prototype.  These models feature all those interesting roof details, with tripod marker lights, antenna and stand, roof vents and smokejack all present.  Notice the lack of a roof walkway – these cabooses were built this way since this feature had fallen out of favor with the RI and ICC by the 1970 build date.  The steps and end walkways on the model are beautiful Apex pattern etch metal.  The end railings are classic ICC style, with air release and brake wheel details.  Underneath, the model features a 1970 variation of the Waugh cushion underframe with complete brake gear and piping details.  For those paying attention, it has a reversed orientation of the Waugh cushion unit and return spring when compared to the later 1971 order.  Each RI ICC order is distinctive, and Tangent does its homework to get these differences correct!  A later “plain” style battery box is there, properly located, along the axle generator pulley.  The gravity dump toilet pipe is still on car number 17184 but has been replaced on car number 17187 with a closed, capped pipe for draining at the service points.  Yes, that means road number specific caboose detailing!  The model rides on Tangent’s gorgeous 70-Ton Barber Roller Bearing trucks with 33″ standard .110” tread CNC wheels.  For lighting, this Tangent RI model is equipped with prototypical red-green roof tripod lights and “golden” interior lights, mimicking the incandescent bulbs of the real cabooses.  A wand is included to operate the lights – easy with no fuss!  Extra parts are included to model the metal flag paddles\/flag holders on the body corners. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
