HO GEN ICC Caboose with Lights and Sound (ATHG-1104)

HO-scale ICC caboose with lights and sound is a highly detailed, ready-to-run model that recreates the classic end car used on U.S. freight trains. It includes an on-board lighting system and a DCC-compatible decoder for realistic operation, with lighting controllable in DCC mode and compatibility with analog (DC) layouts. The model features laser-sharp roadname and road-number printing, see-through end platforms, etched window screens, and a fully detailed underframe, delivering prototypical realism. The interior offers seating for crew figures, and the car uses body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels, and a weighted chassis for smooth, reliable operation on HO track. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, designed for HO layouts with a minimum radius of 18 inches.

On the layout, the ICC caboose balances durability with authenticity, offering long-life LED interior and marker lighting with brightness control and full DCC functionality on compatible decoders. Depending on the era being modeled, it may include single or dual roof markers and end-mount marker lights. Additional detailing includes see-through end platforms, etched window screens, wire-form grab irons, and full underframe features such as air brake components and brake lines. Sound-equipped versions provide authentic horn, brake, and wheel-click effects when used with compatible decoders, delivering a richer end-of-train scene while maintaining NMRA-compliant DCC operation and smooth interaction with other rolling stock.
