Rapido N Scale ~ Denver Rio Grande D&RGW ~ #01500 ~ Wide Vision Caboose ~ 510035
Rapido Trains Inc. is excited to reveal its latest N scale model, the Wide Vision Caboose. Between 1972 and 1981, Canadian Pacific’s Angus Shops in Montreal built over 300 modern, wide-vision cabooses or “vans” and thus gained the nickname “Angus Van”. They proved popular with crews and many are still on the road today, as shoving platforms or rider cars in MOW service. The Angus Van is similar to many other wide-vision cabooses that are commonly seen throughout North America.
