Product Information:
The popular Northeastern Caboose was originally designed by the Reading Company in the early 1920s. This all-steel caboose was based on a proposed design by the USRA, which actually specified wood sheathing. The Reading built 285 cars, spread through several classes. The earliest cars had solid underframes while later cars were equipped with Duryea cushion underframes.
Solid Underframe Features:
- Based on Lehigh Valley design, sold to numerous second-hand users
- Porthole end windows
- LV sides with rain gutters above windows
- Etched metal Apex running boards
- Three-tread steps
- Etched window frames and screens where appropriate!
