Additional Details

This uncommon and desirable, illuminated caboose was included in only one catalogued set: outfit #2223W which included the 2321 Lackawanna FM and possibly, the 6464-100 orange Western Pacific boxcar with blue feather. The caboose always came with bar-end trucks. A rare variation of this caboose is known to exist: it is Tuscan-painted with white heat-stamped lettering and is believed to be a factory error.
