Tangent Scale Models HO 60122-02 DSI/SLCC Bay Window Caboose New York Central Brown Repaint w/ Black Logo 1955+ NYC #20220

Road Specific Features:

New York Central ‘Brown repaint w/Black Logo 1955+’ duplicates a much-requested scheme by the NYC fans, with the black-background NYC oval logo. This caboose was originally built in 1949 by DSI but has been repainted in 1955. NYC modelers will spy that small, era-accurate triangle of paint code information on the left side along with repack stencil data and correct serial number on the right. It’s these little details that make the caboose a New York Central replica. The model features its original DSI-applied smokejack, roof walkway and end railings. The corner railings are painted yellow, along with the bottom ‘Kass’ step tread on each corner. The fully-painted, green interior is illuminated with LED ‘warm’ lights to replicate incandescent bulbs. The model includes scale-size (unlit) oil lanterns mounted on one end on the corner railing posts. This caboose is ready to move freight on your NYC trains from 1955 forward
