HO GEN ICC Caboose with Lights and Sound, BN #10176 (ATHG-1099)

HO-scale ICC Caboose with Lights and Sound in Burlington Northern livery (BN 10176) is a ready-to-run model built for HO-scale railroads seeking authentic late-1950s caboose operations. Reproducing the iconic wide-vision cupola and see-through end platforms, it features LED interior and marker lighting with brightness control and an on-board DCC decoder for seamless operation in DCC or analog layouts. The model is accurately painted and printed for prototypical realism, offers multiple road numbers, and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for dependable tracking. It’s fully assembled, weighted for solid performance, and designed to slot into both yards and mainline consists out of the box.

Inside and out, the ICC caboose is packed with scale details: etched metal window screens, wire-form grab irons, and full underframe detail including air brake reservoirs and valve hardware. It uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers and features see-through end platforms, rotating roller bearing caps on the trucks, and separate wireform grab irons with etched coupler platforms. Trainline hoses, brake hoses, and lift bars add extra realism, while LED lighting and DCC functionality stay fully compatible with NMRA standards. Sound-equipped versions deliver era-appropriate audio such as air horn or trainline whistle, wheel clack, brake sounds, and emergency brake cues, making it a striking centerpiece for HO layouts with a minimum operating radius of 18 inches.
