Bowser's N9 class transfer caboose, in the 1980s black-and-orange scheme, is exactly the piece you need. Short and functional, this type of caboose handled yard-to-yard hops across the city — 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 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, originally in green paint. This black-and-orange livery, adopted in 1983, marks the late period of their careers, when the caboose was already giving way to electronic end-of-train devices. As spartan as the prototype (no cupola, no bay window, a permanently mounted oil tank on one porch), this caboose perfectly captures urban transfer service. The Indiana Harbor Belt livery will especially appeal to customers modeling the Chicago region in the 1980s. 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, black and orange, 1980s 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\"\u003eInterior lighting included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDetailed interior\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":"#17","offer_id":48040359624878,"sku":"6-71019","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#24","offer_id":48040359657646,"sku":"6-71020","price":179.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0216\/1070\/files\/71019.jpg?v=1783021402","url":"https:\/\/modelebt.com\/en\/products\/bowser-ho-fourgon-de-queue-de-transfert-n9-indiana-harbor-belt-annees-1980","provider":"Modèle B.T.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
