HO GEN ICC Caboose with Lights & Sound, BN #10217 (ATHG-1102)

HO-scale ICC Caboose with Lights & Sound, BN 10217, is a highly detailed, ready-to-run model that adds a classic rear-end car to any HO freight train. It wears a BN repaint of the ex-CB&Q NE13 class, features a firecracker-style antenna, and includes a conductor’s whistle that functions in DCC, with LED lighting powered by an on-board DCC decoder for realistic illumination.

Engineered for authentic HO operation, the model rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, uses body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle-spring couplers, and carries full underframe detailing and weight for smooth running. It includes see-through end platforms, etched window screens, and interior seating for crew figures, plus multiple road numbers for prototypical variety. LED interior and marker lights are adjustable, and the DCC setup supports full function control; sound-equipped versions add authentic effects such as air horn, wheel clack, brake sounds, and emergency brake actions when paired with compatible decoders, delivering a convincing rear-end presence to any freight train. The minimum operating radius is 18 inches.
