Tangent Scale Models HO 60415-01 ICC Bay Window Caboose Union Pacific 1981+ 'Equal Opportunity for All' w/ Red-Green Lights UP #24590

Union Pacific (UP) '1981+ Equal Opportunity For All' w/ Red-Green Lights gives UP modelers a distinctive caboose model.  After patching Ex-RI cabooses with UP reporting marks in 1980, the UP’s Omaha Shops went on to refurbish at least three dozen ICC Bay Window cabooses and repaint them into the CA-13 Armour Yellow class.  For this pair, we have selected two cabooses that were repainted in 1981 and received the “Equal Opportunity For All” slogan.  The cabooses received UP-style sliding screens and tracks on the bay windows.  The roof was modified with the removal of the tripod light stand (only the base remains), and a firecracker antenna has replaced the long RI-style antenna.  The ends changed – UP added their distinctive horizontal mount red-green marker light.  These features are all duplicated on the model.  Underneath, eagle-eyed modelers will notice the UP-applied knuckle holders on one side and step lights (non-working) over the stepwell areas on the body top chord.  The 1967 RI ICC features are present, including gasketed windows and Waugh cushion underframe.  The model rides on Tangent’s gorgeous 70-Ton Barber Roller Bearing trucks with 33″ standard .110” tread CNC wheels.  For lighting, this Tangent UP model is equipped with prototypical red-green roof horizontal 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 and the sliding bay window screens.
