Beginning in the 1950s, the International Car Co. developed a standard design for a bay window caboose. The large bay window allowed a conductor or brakeman to look down the length of the entire freight train, making it easier to see signals, overheated journal bearings and other potential issues. Many of these cabooses protected freight trains through the end of the caboose era in the 1980s with a few examples still on the rails today in M.O.W. or shoving platform service.

The WalthersMainline International Bay Window Caboose is back on HO rails in several new paint schemes.

Each model features:

• Sharply molded weld seams, corrugations and other details on the body, ends and roof
• Clear window glazing
• Factory applied separate end railings, smokejack, vent and brakewheel
• Detailed underbody
• Accurate caboose-style trucks
• Scale 33-inch diameter metal wheels
• Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers for reliable operation
• Starter points for grab irons and other details featured in the 910-201 WalthersMainline Caboose Detailing kit (sold separately)
