HO ICC CA-11 Caboose with Lights and Sound (ATHG-1465)

HO ICC CA-11 Caboose with Lights and Sound is an HO-scale, fully detailed, ready-to-run caboose that reproduces the International Car Company CA-11 design with modern lighting and authentic sound. It features roadname- and road-number-specific detailing with laser-accurate paint, a fully realized interior (conductor’s desk, stove, sink, bath, radio stand), and see-through end platforms with etched screens. The underframe is richly detailed with air-brake components, and machined RP25 wheels provide smooth operation on common HO track. An on-board DCC decoder by NCE powers LED interior and marker lighting, offers brightness control, and supports both DCC and analog (DC) layouts; all functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode, delivering prototypical lighting and sound in a ready-to-run package.

Variants reflect prototype differences across railroads, including UP Snowbus and UP Madera Flyer configurations, as well as UP-as-delivered, OWTX, and INPR versions. Features can include enclosed end porches, insulated windows, added porch lighting, and other era-appropriate details, with wire-form grab irons, trainline hoses, and full underframe detail carried across variants. The caboose is weight-balanced for dependable operation and ships fully assembled with lit walkway lights for better visibility in dim yards; designed to run on HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius, it’s ready to drop into a freight train and roll.
