Here is a really neat high quality caboose put out by K-Line in 2000 as a K-Line Collectors Club Special edition. You had to be a member of the collector's club to be able to purchase one. This is one of those cabeese that is really high end--super nice...great detail--check out the brakeman in the cupola, the lighting, and the smoking feature. The smoking feature has an on/off switch so you do not have to have that feature on all the time.
And TIMKIN is not a design you see all that often.

Unlike anything else on the market, these cabooses offer unbelievable detail at a great value.This Extended Vision Caboose is a prototypical reproduction of cabooses built toward the end of the modern caboose era. In the 1950s, The Extended Vision Caboose incorporated both the cupola and the bay window design. The extended vision design widened the cupola out beyond the standard width of the car and allowed the train crews to look at the sides of their trains as well as forward and above. The Extended Vision Caboose enjoyed a popluarity throughout the 1960s, 1970s and into the early 1980s.
CONDITION: C-8. Looks like new; has a slightly bent ladder on one end. With an outer shipper style box in addition to the item box. All is pictured.
