HO GEN ICC Wide-Vision Caboose DRGW #01517 (ATHG-1872)

This HO-scale ICC Wide-Vision Caboose reproduces DRGW #01517, capturing the extended cupola that projects beyond the car sides for enhanced rear visibility. Based on the International Car Company’s wide-vision design, the model reflects the prototype-era caboose used on many U.S. railroads and embodies the Rio Grande’s version with period-accurate cues that bring the era to life in a DRGW freight consist.

Ready to run, it features LED interior and marker lighting with an on-board DCC decoder for operation on both DCC and analog layouts. The car includes interior seating for crew figures, see-through end platforms, flush glazing, and detailed underframe components, plus machined metal wheels, weight for smooth handling, and body-mounted knuckle-spring couplers with authentic paint and lettering. This DRGW variant incorporates era-specific cues and carries a minimum 18-inch radius requirement for reliable operation on typical layouts.
