Introduction

Tangent Scale Models 60113 NYC Despatch Shops N7 Bay Window Caboose Conrail CR

Conrail (CR) N7 Blue Repaint 1976+ is the first of our two DSI Conrail-era offerings in this run. These Conrail cabooses represent some of the initial Conrail repaints right out of the gate following the creation of Consolidated Rail Corporation. These cabooses have the classic Conrail blue paint, with simple end painting and the use of red marker light pairs, which of course light up on our models. The Conrail cabooses continue the black-painted roofs and ACI labels found on the Penn Central cars, as well as a 2-panel consolidated lube stencil. Conrail maintained the as-delivered plain-bearing trucks under these early repaints. We are offering this scheme in two road numbers, each with accurate and distinctive lettering details to represent the two prototypical numbers offered.
