The Clinton, IA Car Shops rebuilt most of the C\u0026amp;NW caboose fleet in 1981.  These changes were significant, and we at Tangent wanted to replicate these features accurately.  The Clinton Car Shop changes included a full rebuild of the roof details, sides, bay windows, interior and trucks.  These details are worth getting right, just ask any C\u0026amp;NW modeler.  This is the first version of the “Safety Yellow” paint scheme, a.k.a. “Zito Yellow,” and features the slogan “We Originated Safety First.”  The cabooses have a Zito Yellow body, green roof and end railings, white step wells and black underbody and trucks.  The body lower sill edges are reflective yellow, (but not under the bay window), and this feature is carefully duplicated on the model.  The sides feature the most popular C\u0026amp;NW caboose scheme ever, with red and black “Employee Owned” ball-and-bar logo and what is the most detailed reproduction of a C\u0026amp;NW flag in HO Scale history.   Right after delivery from Clinton, the cabooses received their distinctive “third” box in the COTS box grouping.  Fun fact: this third COTS box included details like the Toilet Service date, Washed date, Inspection date, and Assigned station and train codes.  The Clinton rebuilt roof features a new and relocated toilet vent, and the complete removal of any running board bracket remnants.  The whip antenna detail is still there.  Since this group of cabooses are part of the 1968 ICC delivery group, eagle-eyed modelers will notice a different smokejack location on the roof.  The side body windows are completely plated over, with scale thickness steel plate features.  This translates to an all-new body to do this type of detail correctly.  The 1968 order of cabooses have a slightly different bay window height, and on top of that, Clinton rebuilt the bay windows to flush safety glass and sliding screens.  The interior was modernized, and these Tangent models feature new, single and double high-back crew seats, relocated toilet room, Caban TCHA-55 oil heater with screened railings, oil bunker, sink and Gloekler electric ice box.  Underneath, this group of 1968 caboose models feature a Waugh cushion underframe with complete brake gear and piping details.  It’s all there, including the relocated retainer valve, air piping to the bay window, replacement knuckle holders, a beautiful battery box with separate bottom grate detail and separate release rod for the AB Valve.  The 1968-style end railings have two variations, matching the prototype photos for each of the SKU car numbers.  The ends are also equipped with a Klasing 1150 handbrake, separate modern brake wheel and the train line air release valve.  The model rides on Tangent’s gorgeous and all-new 70-Ton Gould Rebuilt Roller Bearing caboose trucks with 33″ standard .110” tread CNC wheels.  Clinton rebuilt the prototype caboose trucks to roller bearings, so the Tangent trucks mimic this neat detail: if you look inside the “removed” lids area, you can peek at the Timken cap detail.  One of the axles is equipped with an outboard Dayco belt-drive axle generator, matching the prototypes exactly.  For lighting, this Tangent C\u0026amp;NW model is equipped with 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.  Each of the 8 numbers has slightly different graphics placement for logos, flags, COTS boxes, side reporting marks and other data, based on individual car photos.  Do not miss this caboose, perhaps one of the most-requested cabooses from Tangent Scale Models.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
