Other than the NYC Hudson locomotive, the 19000 series cabooses with their distinctive low cupola was an icon of the New York Central Railroad for many of us.  These cabooses lasted from the early 1900s well into the 1960s.  Many of these cabooses were inherited from predecessor railroads but were rebuilt between 1912 and 1926 with common features resulting in over 2000 of these so called standard wooden cabooses.
 
This model represents these standard tongue and grove siding wood sided cars.  Some served until the end of the railroad.

This model is a craftsman kit and requires purchase of trucks and couplers that are not included with the kit. The kits come with a set of decals so that you can number the caboose as you wish.


The MSRP for these kits is $62.95 but are offered to NYCSHS members for 20% off at $50.36 plus shipping and handling costs.  Ohio residents must pay 8% Ohio Sales tax.
