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.
Duryea Underframe features:
- Two different cupola roofs
- Two-tread or three-tread steps
- Full Duryea Cushion underframe details
- Two running boards: Integral diamond-tread and Alan Wood
- Multiple optional parts including stacks, window blanks, etched window frames and screens, tool boxes and more!
- Three different sides — standard, CNJ or LV with rain gutters above windows
- Three different end walls — Solid (RDG, CNJ) and single window (LV)
- Three styles of truck: Andrews, Birdsboro and Taylor
All models feature semi-scale metal knuckle couplers, operating interior lights and MoPower capacitor for uninterrupted DCC lighting.
