Introduced in the 1900s, some of these venerable wooden cabooses were still in service when the Burlington Northern was born 70 years later! Based on the Burlington's 30' wooden "waycars," these HO Scale models are right at home behind steam and diesel power. With four side windows and an end cupola, the design was nearly identical to cars used by the Chicago & North Western. Each Platinum Line model features factor-installed wire grab irons and handrails, and comes with a detailed interior, separately applied "wood" roofwalks, window glazing and molded end ladders. Leaf-spring trucks with turned-metal wheels and McHenry(R) near-scale working knuckle couplers complete the realistic detail.
