HO - Freight Cars 
N5 Caboose 

The N-5 was the world's first all steel cabin car. Produced in 1914 by Lines East these cars were equipped with archbar, leaf spring trucks and small tool boxes under their sides. While it was referred to as a center cupola, the N-5 cupola was actually 12 1/2" off center. It had a brake lever on each end of the platform instead of the brake wheel. Over the years some changes occured. the top lights and tool boxes were removed, Ajax brake wheels replaced the brake levers, AB brakes replaced the K style, and coil spring trucks were replaced by leaf spring trucks. New end sills, collision posts and new end railings were added. The stove and chimney were moved from the end of the car closer to the cupola. There were a total of 616 cars built in this era. Antenna support system not included. (Drill spots for locating antenna system supports are molded into underside of roof).

KIT INCLUDES: One piece plastic molded body, one piece plastic molded roof, brake wheel, air reservoir, brake cylinder, control valve, X2f couplers, plastic trucks/wheels and steel car weights.  Made in USA.
