The Atlas Trainman 20006752 HO scale cupola caboose represents ARR Alaska #1074. Note that the picture might show a different road number. The first all - steel cabooses for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad were made in 1937 by Magor Car Corporation in Clifton, N.J. Magor, St. Louis Car Company, and ACF together built 350 cabooses with a similar design for the C&O, with the last ones in 1949. Many stayed in service until the 1980s due to rebuilding and modernization. Similar cabooses were also built for Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Key features include true - to - scale dimensions with precise details, weighted and detailed underframes, AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers, trucks with free - rolling metal wheels, and clear window inserts with separately applied side railings.

Using this HO scale cupola caboose is easy. Simply place it on your train track along with other train cars. It will connect smoothly to other cars with its AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers. When setting it up, make sure the track is clean and free of debris for the best rolling performance. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and dust - free place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the body, window inserts, and side railings. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the details. Check the trucks and wheels regularly to ensure they roll freely. If you notice any issues, like a wheel not turning properly, you can carefully clean or adjust it. Enjoy adding this great - looking caboose to your train collection!
