Služební vlakový vůz modelové železnice v měřítku HO pro železniční modeláře v modelářské kvalitě - American Model Builders Missouri Pacific #1112 HO Wood Cupola Side-Door Drover Caboose (Waycar) KIT stavebnice #884.

In 1930, the Missouri Pacific Railroad contracted with St. Louis Car Company (order number 1534) for the construction of 20 drover cabooses in the series 1100 – 1119 for use in the movement of livestock. Besides their normal duties as a freight train caboose, these cars provided seating and sleeping space for the men who accompanied cattle shipped on the MP. At 42 feet long over the pulling faces of the couplers, these cars were longer than the standard Mopac caboose. As the need for drover cabooses declined, several of these crummies were modified during World War Two for less-than-carload (LCL) service and hauled small shipments and express on branch and secondary lines. Kit No. 884 represents one of these cars, number 1112. All drover cabooses and LCL cars were off the roster by 1965.

Both drover caboose kits features 100% laser-cut components with custom laser-scribed side and end walls, Tab & Slot and Peel & Stick construction, laser-cut underframe, end platforms, ladders, end railing, roof vents, cupola hand grabs, toolbox, brake stand and brake wheels as appropriate for version, cast resin platform steps, white metal smokejacks, color window shades, fully illustrated instructions that provide information on painting and decaling the assembled model, and several fixtures to aid the modeler in creating all the handholds and ladders appropriate for the prototype. We recommend the purchase of Oddball Decal’s set No. 87-284, Tahoe Model Works’ No. 105 or 205 Barber-Bettendorf Swing Motion Caboose Trucks, and Kadee No. 5 couplers with draft gear boxes for completing our drover cabooses.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the small edition size and the great demand for this item, allocations are expected to occur.
