When New York Central sought a steel replacement for their wooden caboose fleet in the 1940s, they quickly settled on the half bay window design which skirted the problems of ever taller boxcars and low side clearance issues due to some bridges and passenger platforms. For this new group of NYC oxide red cabooses, we present them with the more common oxide red background on the oval logo and a different arrangement of the yellow trim. These NYC cars will be available in 3 road numbers.
