HO ICC CA-11 Caboose with Lights and Sound (ATHG-1464)

HO-scale ICC CA-11 Caboose with Lights and Sound is a highly detailed, ready-to-run HO-scale model that faithfully captures the ICC CA-11 caboose design used across several railroads. It features an on-board DCC decoder and LED lighting for both DCC and analog operation, with lighting brightness control to suit day or night running. Inside, a fully detailed interior includes a conductor’s desk, stove, sink, bath, and radio stand, while the exterior showcases see-through end platforms and steps, etched metal window screens, wire-form grab irons, and machined metal wheels for smooth operation on standard HO track. The model comes in multiple road-name variants to match prototype schemes, including Union Pacific, INPR, OWTX, and UP Madera Flyer, with features such as enclosed end porches, insulated windows, and porch or marker lights that reflect CA-11 configurations.

Built with a durable injection-molded body and a weighted chassis, the caboose is designed for steady, reliable operation on typical HO layouts, aided by machined wheels and accurate underframe detailing such as air brake reservoirs, control valves, and brake cylinders with plumbing. The on-board DCC decoder supports NMRA-compatible functions and allows lighting brightness adjustment, while some versions offer sound functionality—air horn or whistle, wheel clickety-clack, brake sounds and emergency brake effects—when paired with a compatible sound decoder. Roadname-specific CA-11 variants reproduce authentic differences among schemes like UP Snowbus and UP Madera Flyer, including features such as enclosed end porches, insulated windows, and marker lights, and the model is ready to run out of the box with compatibility for an 18-inch minimum radius layout.
