HO ATH Wide-Vision Caboose SCL Family Lines #05757 (ATH-2444)

The HO ATH Wide-Vision Caboose, SCL 'Family Lines' #05757 is a meticulously crafted model that embodies one of the most recognizable icons of American railroading. Designed to complete the train, this caboose provides shelter for the crew at the end of a train, allowing the crew to monitor load shifts, equipment damage, and other important safety factors. Featuring an extended-vision or wide-vision design, the sides of the cupola extend beyond the car body, allowing for improved visibility, especially after World War II when taller freight cars became prevalent.

This model captures the essence of the expanded cupola, originally introduced by the International Car Company, and has been a staple on many U.S. railroads. The model is detailed with fine end handrails, clear windows, and is equipped with caboose trucks. It boasts a highly detailed, injection-molded body that comes painted and printed for realistic decoration. Additional features include weighted performance, machined metal wheels, and body-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers. Designed for versatility, the caboose has a minimum radius of 15 inches, making it an ideal addition to any HO scale train setup.
