Introduction

Tangent Scale Models 60210 IC Centralia Steel Wide Vision Caboose Illinois Central “1970 Split Rail”

Illinois Central (IC) Original Orange Split Rail 1970 replicates the as-built paint scheme as the cabooses rolled out of the Centralia Shops. The IC painted their cabooses in a beautiful orange and lettered them with the Split Rail logo and Main Line Of Mid-America slogan. This group of cabooses features a Stanray roof, along with an accurate Keystone Center-of-Car cushioning underframe and matching brake components layout for the 1970 Centralia lot. The little details are present from the accurate smokejack and can radio antenna on the roof to the water filler covers and pipes on the underframe. IC painted the bathroom window with a half orange patch for privacy, and we have carefully duplicated this neat little detail on the model. The fully-painted, green interior is illuminated with LED warm lights to replicate incandescent bulbs, as well as accurate, lighted IC box-style red-green markers on the ends. Check out those beautiful Barber caboose trucks, complete with accurate Brenco-6 style roller bearings.
