AMB N-Scale NYCS 19000 Wood Caboose Kit
 AMB #554The 19000 series wood caboose, with its distinctive low cupola,
was one of the iconic image of the New York Central from the early teens of the 20th
century through the 1960s. Referred to as the “standard” caboose of the NYC,
the 19000 series was actually a compilation of cars created from a fleet of
nearly 2000 cabooses, which were inherited from predecessor roads – some
dating back to the 1890s. Between 1912 and 1926, many of these cars were
rebuilt with common features such as window arrangement, steel underframes,
and low cupolas, but, as eight different company shops were involved, subtle
variations resulted.
Features: 100% laser-cut components with custom
laser-scribed Birch plywood side, end walls, and cupola; Tab & Slot carbody
construction; Peel & Stick window, door, and trim assembly; laser-cut
underframe, end platforms, ladders, end railing, hand grabs, window glazing,
truss rods, and brake wheels; cast resin platform steps and brake gear;
plastic smokejack; custom decals by Tichy Train Group; and fully illustrated
instructions that provide information on painting and decaling the assembled
model. In addition, the N scale kit provides for optional details too such
as square or rounded body corner posts; side windows that can be modeled open
or closed; two different styles of roofwalks; and cupola end window variation.
