HO ICC CA-11a Caboose with Lights (ATHG-1454)

HO Scale ICC CA-11a Caboose with Lights is a highly detailed, ready-to-run model that brings authentic late-1970s caboose design to HO layouts. It features an on-board DCC decoder by NCE and LED lighting for interior and marker lights, with brightness control and lit walkway lights for realistic tail-end scenes. The car includes a fully detailed interior, see-through end platforms and steps, etched metal window screens, and wire-form grab irons, along with machined RP25 wheels for smooth operation on most HO tracks. It arrives fully assembled and weighted for reliable running and is accurately painted and printed to reflect prototype details across multiple roadnames and eras.

Designed for HO-scale operation, the CA-11a rides on a fully detailed underframe with air brake reservoir, control valve, and brake cylinders with plumbing, and uses body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers for dependable coupling within freight consists. The model is built with a highly detailed injection-molded body and supports minimum 18-inch radius curves for layout flexibility. DCC compatibility means NMRA-compliant function control, and some variants offer optional sound features such as air horn or trainline whistle, brake sounds, and other effects when used with compatible decoders, adding another layer of realism to tail-end operations.
