HO ICC Caboose CA-9 with Lights & Sound, UP #25656 (ATHG79032)

HO ICC CA-9 Caboose with Lights & Sound for Union Pacific, road number UP 25656, is a meticulously detailed HO-scale caboose designed to bring authentic tail-end operations to a layout. This ready-to-run model features on-board DCC lighting with adjustable brightness and a built-in decoder, and, when paired with the sound-equipped version, delivers era-appropriate rail sounds for a more immersive operating session.

Detailing includes road-name and road-number specific painting, interior seating for crew figures, see-through end platforms and steps, flush glazing, and wire-form grab irons, with full underframe detail including air brake components and plumbing. The model rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours on sturdy trucks and uses body-mounted knuckle-spring couplers for reliable operation. It ships weighted for steady performance and supports NMRA-compatible DCC functions, with LED interior and marker lights for clear visibility. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended for smooth operation, and the unit is ready to run right out of the box.
