These unique cabooses were also known as "Transfer Cabooses". They were built to replace an aging fleet of wood cabooses used in various yard and transfer duties. As a result, the replacements had to be sturdy. The solution was to build a cabin on top of old steam tenders. As built, these new cabooses had large side and end windows (pictured above). Later in life they were modified with large windows plated over with smaller openings (pictured below). These models will be available as unpainted models or fully painted and lettered in a number of schemes. We will be starting with the original scheme of orange with maroon lettering and also include later versions with the slanted Milwaukee Road logo.
