Tangent Scale Models 60112 NYC Despatch Shops N7 Bay Window Caboose Penn Central PC

Penn Central (PC) N7 Green Repaint 1975+ represents the most common scheme applied by Penn Central to the N7 class of DSI cabooses. Wearing the classic PC green colors that Tangent replicates better than anyone in the industry, these cabooses feature the large road numbers on the left side of the car and the italicized PENN CENTRAL above the cupola. The roof is black per PC practice, who also removed the running board and end ladders at the time of painting. Check out that classic PC replacement smokejack. Dont forget the bright yellow safety steps! The fully-painted interior features black seats and stove, and light green cabinets and walls which was the selected interior color. The interior is lit, as are the tiny pairs of red marker lights on each end that PC applied to these cabooses. Eagle-eyed modelers will notice the POOL denotation on the end doors of this caboose to denote their pool service status (i.e. they ran everywhere). Finally we round these cars out with the application of ACI labels, which was a standard PC practice for these cabooses.
