Looking to give your Conrail consists that authentic "Big Blue" touch that instantly speaks to fans of the 1970s and 1980s era? Bowser's N9E class transfer caboose is exactly the piece you need. Short, stocky and no-nonsense, the transfer caboose was built for yard service and short point-to-point moves — a very real role, often overlooked on layouts, but one that adds instant operational credibility to your switching.
Bowser here recreates a prototype with a rich history: born in the Despatch Shops (descended from the New York Central's N6 cabooses, later classed N9 under Penn Central), these spartan cabooses carried on under Conrail, proudly wearing the railroad's iconic blue. The Conrail scheme will especially appeal to customers modeling the Northeast merger era. Ready to run and finely detailed, this model caps off your trains with the realism Bowser is known for.
Features:
- HO scale (1:87)
- N9E class transfer caboose
- Conrail livery (blue)
- Flashing FRA end marker lights
- Ready-to-run (RTR)
- Interior lighting included
- Detailed interior
- Prototype-faithful molded details
- Factory-mounted couplers
- Metal wheels
- Ideal for yard service and transfer moves, 1970s-1980s era
