Caboose Flying Grande Weathere

D&RGW “round roof” Long Caboose #503
Flying Grande, Freshly Shopped Paint, Weathered
Each Caboose will have electrical pickup wipers on both trucks and the wheels are insulated, making it feasible for you to modify the caboose with interior or marker lamp lighting if you have the expertise to do so.
Ladder Safety Extensions are provided as an option for you to add if desired.
Cabooses come with different ladder designs (4 rung, 5 rung, and special 0505 narrow ladder) depending on the correct prototype practice for each road number
Two “subtly” different paint shades are used to reflect the prototype variances.
Marker Lamps will be supplied separately for you to add on as desired.
Window awnings will also be provided separately for you to add - since a couple of road numbers did not always have the side shades, this allows you to customize your crummy to the era you are modeling.
Caboose handrails and hardware are painted in either white, silver, or black - whichever is correct for the road number and era.
The number 0503 has special prototypical features which include:
Unique end windows on its cupola
Angled foot step design
The caboose chassis is reversed to make the “A” end where the “B” end is on other cabooses. The retainer line location has also been appropriately reversed.
Siding boards in ABS (painted and molded to fit) will be included for customers who wish to board up the “A” end side window as was seen on the car in later years.
