HO ICC CA-11a Caboose with Lights and Sound (ATHG-1466)

HO Scale ICC CA-11a Caboose with Lights and Sound is a ready-to-run, highly detailed caboose that faithfully recreates the ICC CA-11a class with modern enhancements. It offers roadname- and road-number-specific detailing, laser-accurate painting, and a fully featured interior that includes a conductor’s desk, stove, sink, bathroom, and radio stand. Exterior touches include see-through end platforms, etched metal window screens, flush glazing, and wire-form grab irons, while machined metal wheels with RP25 contours ensure smooth operation on typical HO track. Weighted for reliable performance, the model arrives fully assembled and ready to roll, with multiple road numbers and roadnames to fit a range of fleets.

Electronics and performance are built around an on-board DCC decoder by NCE, enabling operation in DCC or conventional analog power with lighting controlled in DCC. LED interior and marker lights provide long-lasting illumination with brightness control, and all lighting functions are NMRA-compatible in DCC mode. Sound-equipped variants add authentic effects such as air horn or trainline whistle, clickety-clack with wheel flats, brake sounds, and emergency-brake cues when paired with a compatible decoder. The model uses body-mounted McHenry scale-knuckle couplers, full underframe detail, and machined wheels to support reliable coupling and realistic operation, and it’s designed for layout use with an 18-inch minimum radius.
