The Atlas Trainman 20006756 HO scale cupola caboose represents the C&IM Chicago & Illinois Midland #68. Note that the picture might show a different road number. In 1937, the Magor Car Corporation in Clifton, N.J., produced the first all - steel cabooses for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Magor, along with St. Louis Car Company and ACF, made a total of 350 cabooses for the C&O with a similar design, and the last ones were built in 1949. Many of these cabooses stayed in service until the 1980s due to rebuilding and modernization. Similar - designed cabooses were also built for Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago & Eastern Illinois. This caboose model has true scale dimensions with accurate details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free - rolling metal wheels, clear window inserts, and separately applied side railings.

Using this Atlas Trainman HO scale cupola caboose is easy. Just connect it to your train using the AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers. It'll look great as part of your train set. When handling the caboose, be gentle to avoid any damage to the separately applied side railings or the clear window inserts. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the caboose from time to time. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity to prevent any warping or damage to the materials. If you notice any issues with the free - rolling metal wheels on the trucks, you can carefully check for any debris and clean them if necessary.
