HO ICC Caboose with Lights BN #10176 (ATHG-1089)

HO Scale ICC Caboose with Lights is a ready-to-run, highly detailed HO-scale caboose replica representing the International Car Company’s tail-end car used on freight trains. It features LED interior and marker lighting and an on-board DCC decoder by NCE, allowing operation on both DCC and analog layouts with lighting control from a digital controller. The model arrives fully assembled, with accurate roadname lettering, see-through end platforms, etched metal window screens, wire-form grab irons, and a fully detailed underframe including air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers ensure smooth, prototypical operation, and multiple road numbers are offered for roster-building.

Designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches, this caboose is weighted for reliable operation and includes interior seating space for crew figures, along with authentic detailing such as trainline hoses and brake hardware. LED lighting provides long life with brightness control, and all functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode. Sound-equipped versions add era-appropriate horn or trainline whistle, wheel clack, brake sounds, emergency brake, and handbrake effects, with seamless compatibility to Soundtraxx decoders and DCC setups. Together, these features deliver a convincing tail-end model that enhances realism on any freight-train scene.
