HO GEN ICC Caboose with Lights FWD #158 (ATHG-1094)

HO Gen ICC Caboose with Lights, Forward #158 is a ready-to-run HO-scale caboose designed to cap a freight train with authentic period detail and dependable lighting. The model includes an on-board DCC decoder by NCE, allowing operation in both DCC and analog DC layouts, with LED interior and marker lights controllable in DCC. It features a wide-vision cupola, see-through end platforms, etched metal window screens, and flush glazing, plus full underframe detailing. Machined metal wheels with RP25 contours roll on the rails, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers provide prototypical coupling. Painted and printed to match multiple roadnames and roadnumbers, it ships fully assembled and ready to run.

Forward features include a DCC-operable caboose whistle and a firecracker-style antenna. The car is weighted for reliable operation and includes interior seating for crew figures, multiple road-number options, and authentic touches such as separate wire-form grab irons, etched coupler platforms, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and underframe plumbing. It is designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius and ships with window packaging for easy viewing and safe storage.
