HO Athearn 3-Window Wood Caboose, RI #17962 (ATH-2597)

This HO-scale Athearn 3-Window Wood Caboose recreates a classic Rhode Island prototype caboose and arrives fully assembled and ready to run on an HO layout. It features simulated wood sheathing, wire truss rods where appropriate, clear window glazing, painted steps, machined RP25-profile 33-inch metal wheels, and McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for smooth, prototypical coupling.

Detailing mirrors the prototype with arch-bar or Bettendorf trucks and brake shoe detail, while razor-sharp painting and printing provide crisp, realistic graphics. With an 18-inch minimum radius, it fits neatly on smaller layouts as well as larger setups, adding authentic operation and atmosphere to HO railroading.
