HO Bay Window Caboose UP #24576 (ATH90320)

HO Scale Union Pacific Bay Window Caboose is a highly detailed model designed to cap the end of an HO freight train. The bay-window design projects beyond the car body, giving crews a clear side view for inspecting the train and monitoring for load shifts, damage, and overheating axles during switching and yard work. This Union Pacific caboose reflects late-era service and is well suited for coal-haul or unit trains where top-loading can create clearance issues above the roof.

It features fine end handrails and ladders, clear windows, and caboose trucks, with separately applied smoke jack and brake wheel. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for prototypical coupling and is weighted for steady performance. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours enhance both appearance and tracking, while a highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration. The model is designed for HO-track layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches.
