30Ft GTW Caboose CN no 78953

Overview

30' GTW Style Wood Caboose with Offset Coupola - Ready To Run -- Canadian National #78953

This classic Grand Trunk Western style caboose follows an authentic design based on cars first built in the 1920s with wood bodies and steel underframes and later updated with AB brake equipment. These cars were in service from the 1920s through the 1970s. Similar designs served on railroads across the country and this car is available in several road names. The fully assembled, railroad-ready model features:

• Complete interior detail
• Factory-installed running board, grab irons, brake wheel, smoke jack and other detail parts
• Correct leaf spring arch-bar trucks
• Ultra-smooth rolling metal axles and 33" wheelsets
• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers

Please Note: As the wheelbase and placement of the trucks on these cars matches the prototype, a minimum radius of 24" is recommended for operation.
