Tangent HO ICC CNW Bay Window Caboose Chicago Northwestern “1966 Delivery Red”

Description

Railroad Short Name: CNW

C&NW “Red Delivery 1966” w/ Interior Lights replicates the fifty-car 1966 order of cabooses in their as-built classic red and black paint. with yellow lettering.  This 1966 ICC group was delivered in C&NW’s standard red caboose scheme and features an unpainted galvanized roof with carefully replicated red overspray along the edges, just like the prototype.  The see-through Apex running board, end walkways and steps really shine on the model.  The side of the caboose is lettered with an accurate Chicago & North Western Railway ball-and-bar logo.
