Bachmann 76452 N Scale Transfer Caboose CSXT 16630
Designed for the Missouri Pacific™ in the late 1970s, the Short Body Bay Window Caboose was one of the last caboose styles to be built for class one operation. With End-of-Train Devices fast replacing cabooses on the rear of road trains, the Short Body Bay Window Caboose was constructed with a design that could easily be adapted for shoving or “transfer” movements, featuring a longer platform on each end of the body for external riding. The Missouri Pacific™ design was used as the basis for cars commissioned by several other railroads, including the Louisville & Nashville® and Southern Pacific™. Many of both the original MoPac cars and copies continued in operation well into the 2000s, and a number are still used in MOW service or as shoving platforms today. The Bachmann N Scale Short Body Bay Window Transfer Caboose arrives newly-tooled with accurate details, blackened metal wheels, and E-Z Mate® knuckle couplers.
