HO ICC Caboose with Lights and Sound WP #490 (ATHG79040)

HO ICC Caboose with Lights and Sound — a ready-to-run HO-scale replica of the Western Pacific end car from the late 1960s. It features DCC lighting as a baseline with an optional sound package for added realism, and it can operate on both DCC and analog (DC) layouts with lighting controllable in DCC. The model captures period details such as see-through end platforms, interior seating for crew figures, flush glazing, and full underframe detail for convincing yard or mainline scenes.

Built for smooth, dependable operation, the caboose rides on machined RP25 metal wheels and is weighted for steady performance. It includes LED interior and marker lights with brightness control, a body-mounted scale knuckle coupler, and an on-board DCC decoder (by NCE) that keeps it NMRA-compatible; select versions add SoundTraxx Tsunami sounds for horn, brake, and wheel effects. Available in multiple road numbers and Legendary Liveries, it’s a versatile option for proto-freelance or alternate-history displays and requires an 18-inch minimum radius to negotiate HO curves.
