Bluford Shops N Scale KCS Kansas City Southern #400 Bay Caboose 44080
Over the years the design of the bay windows evolved and Bluford Shops is presenting four phases of these designs plus the iconic half-bay window edition. Three of those five will be represented in this announcement. Ladders and running boards will be included on appropriate paint schemes for each version. The ready-to-run models will feature magnetically operating knuckle couplers, Fox Valley Models metal wheels, wire grab irons, window “glass”, and plenty of weight.
Kansas City Southern had long been a proponent of the bay window caboose concept. Even in the steam era you were likely to see a single sheathed wooden bay window caboose bringing up the rear of a KCS train. So when the need arose in the 1970s, the phase IV International Car caboose was an easy choice.
