The ET&WNC caboose 503 served the ET&WNC railroad for many years and could be uniquely identified by its’ lack of a copula. Because of this, it received the nickname of the “copula-less caboose”. In its’ later years, the caboose could be found at Cranberry, NC serving as a bachelor pad for Cy Crumley, the locally well-known conductor who served the railroad for 54 years. 

This highly-detailed model makes for a unique caboose to add to your narrow gauge railroad.

ET&WNC Caboose 503 with Simplex body bolster. To complete your model, add grab irons, trucks, couplers, paint, and decal to your liking.
