Chessie Systems (B&O) "Raceland Repaint 1980+"

 

The Tangent Scale Models B&O I-18 Bay Window Caboose is a state of the art, dimensionally accurate scale replica with highly accurate “true-to-life” colors and precise letter stencils.  This caboose has never been offered before – in brass, resin, or plastic!  Our B&O I-18 caboose was designed from meticulous field dimensions and includes incredible levels of detail such as Waugh Cushion Underframe, brake system, battery box, toilet pipe, rooftop vents, caboose window treatments accurate for the era of the caboose, plus beautiful see-through steps, end platforms, and running board.  Inside the model is an accurately painted ICC-applied interior including the sink, toilet, oil heater, bunks, and desks.  Our caboose includes interior lighting, plus marker light options that are appropriate for the RTR paint scheme offered.  We offer “no fuss” track-powered exterior marker lights as appropriate for the prototype, and our cabooses are compatible with DC or DCC setups right out of the box (a simple wand included in the box activates the lights on each end – and the interior - independently).  Finally, our ready-to-operate replica includes “near-scale” draft gear box including side “key” detail, coupler lift bars accompanying Kadee® scale couplers, sufficient hidden weights, and CNC-machined wheels to ensure the model operates as good as it looks. These cabooses are shipping today!
