In 1980, the C\u0026amp;NW took control of significant ex-RI track miles in Iowa\/Minnesota and was also planning the rebuild of its own caboose fleet.  The C\u0026amp;NW needed road cabooses fast.  The UP leased several dozen ex-RI ICC Bay Window cabooses to the C\u0026amp;NW through 1981.  These cabooses can be identified by tiny 1” “LEASED TO CNW” stenciling on the body or bay window, but retained their UP bandit paint jobs.  When returned in 1981, the cabooses continued to serve the UP with intact CNW stenciling (UP Modelers take note!)  These two specific numbers are chosen from RI’s 1966 ICC order of 25 cabooses.  The 1966 order features end brake wheel supports in a “zigzag” upright style, different from the 1967 order.  These Ex-RI CNW Lease models feature an incredible story of paint and details; while originally built in 1966, the RI modernized the cabooses in the mid-1970s, resulting in removal of the running boards and cut-down ladders on the ends.  The walkway brackets remained on the roof.  The RI also added an FRA red light on each end in 1979, as part of the marker light updates for the era.  All of these features are carefully duplicated in HO.  The model is painted a faded red, mimicking RI’s now-faded 1966 solid red scheme, and each specific number features photo-accurate patches and data.  Caboose UP 24503 features a patched bay window but kept the large “ROCK ISLAND” body lettering.  Caboose UP 24506 received extensive patches, obliterating the large “ROCK ISLAND” lettering.  Each caboose features accurate ACI (or patched ACI), COTS, U-1 inspection dot and other data per photos.  The models ride 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, red FRA flashing end 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\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;
