Description

The ET&WNC built two Long Cabeese that were nearly identical, the bodies were identical, with variances in the steps as well as the trucks.

Caboose 505 / 506

Our Caboose models each consist of two parts, The body, and the frame. To Build the completed model you will need to purchase both halves, be sure to select the correct  under-frame for the model you intend to build.

These models are designed to use the following:

HOn3

•  Kadee #713 or #714 couplers
• Blackstone Caboose Trucks B370109
• Injection molded brake wheels
• Music Wire 0.012″ for
  • Grab Irons
  • Stirrups
  • Brake Wheel Shafts

On30

•  Kadee #5 or #148  couplers
• Bachmann Vulcan Freight Trucks 29905*
• Injection molded brake wheels
• Music Wire for brake wheel Shafts

To complete the model, snip any sprues used to protect the model during shipping, ream out the holes on the coupler mount (optional), and truck mounts to fit the hardware of your choice. Add a brake wheel on each end (optional) apply Paint and decals to your preference.

* I have found that Bachmann did not design their trucks to fit a standard diameter bolster pin. As Such, I have designed the pin to fit the trucks that I purchased for the prototype model if other trucks are used, you may need to modify the pins, or replace them.

Due to the fact that 3d printing is a relatively new and in many ways experimental manufacturing technology and the fact that many of the models I manufacture push the limits on what is able to be manufactured, not all models can be successfully printed every time. Every effort is made to avoid any issues during the design phase, however, from time to time we do have unforeseen issues during the manufacturing process. We (Shapeways and I) appreciate your patience when issues do occur.
