Bowser's N9 class transfer caboose, in 1970s Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB) colors, is exactly the piece you need. Short and stripped to the bone, this type of caboose was built for one job: hopping cars from yard to yard across town — precisely the IHB's daily bread. The flashing FRA end markers add a welcome touch of life to the rear of your trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBowser here recreates a prototype rooted in Chicago railroad history: a major terminal carrier controlled 60% by the New York Central for most of its life, the IHB transferred blocks of cars between connections on both sides of the city. NYC\/PC built about twenty of these transfer cabooses for the IHB in the late 1960s and early 1970s, originally in Century green paint — the scheme these cabooses still wore through the 1970s, before the orange schemes adopted in 1983. As spartan as the prototype (no cupola, no bay window, often no electricity), this caboose perfectly captures urban transfer service. The Indiana Harbor Belt livery will especially appeal to customers modeling the Chicago region. Ready to run and finely detailed, this model brings your trains the realism Bowser is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHO scale (1:87)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eN9 class transfer caboose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIndiana Harbor Belt (IHB) livery, 1970s era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFlashing FRA end marker lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReady-to-run (RTR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrototype-faithful molded details (no roofwalks or ladders, per the N9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFactory-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFree-rolling trucks with metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIdeal for yard-to-yard transfer moves, Chicago region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bowser","offers":[{"title":"#16","offer_id":48040352219310,"sku":"6-71017","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#20","offer_id":48040352252078,"sku":"6-71018","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0216\/1070\/files\/71017.jpg?v=1783020924","url":"https:\/\/modelebt.com\/en\/products\/bowser-ho-fourgon-de-queue-de-transfert-n9-indiana-harbor-belt-annees-1970","provider":"Modèle B.T.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
