Tangent Caboose

[NW Modeling List]

FYI, per Tangent's latest newsletter, they are offering the St. Louis Car
Company Bay Window caboose, owned by Illinois Terminal Co., which was
absorbed into N&W circa 1982:

Norfolk & Western (NW) "Red Repaint 1982+" is the final paint scheme to be
applied to the ITC St. Louis Car Co. caboose fleet.  The NW took over
operations of the ITC in 1981 and refurbished several of the ITC cabooses
in 1982 for local and transfer service.  It is amazing what a fresh coat of
caboose red and white NW graphics can do!  The prototype side windows have
been plated over, and the rooftop walkways and end ladders are long gone.
This model features these same modernizations, and make sure that you check
out the intricate roof walkway metal brackets.  You can see the individual
walkway bolt holes on top of each one!  These are the finest walkway
brackets available in HO Scale.  The ends of the caboose feature
era-appropriate flashing FRA red lights.  The underframe has also lost the
equipment boxes and toilet pipe.  The interior of the caboose is lit, which
can still be seen through those big bay windows.  We kept getting asked
from the NW guys about this scheme, so now’s your chance to have a little
bit of the 1980s in your caboose fleet.  This NW red beauty is available in
two accurate numbers. Don’t forget to check out the website for the
prototype reference photos!  SKU 60130
