New Product Express August 10th, 2021
WalthersProto® DMIR G2 Caboose
Brining up the markers on the New Product Express this week, is the
WalthersProto® Class G2 Wood Caboose!
Small in size but big in importance, for over a century no freight train
was complete without a caboose displaying flags or lamps to mark and protect the rear. Built in every size, shape and shade, all served the same purposes, providing a place for the rear brakeman to watch for trouble, office space for the conductor and home-away-from-home between trips. As a result, many shared such features, as a short wheelbase, tall cupola, and all-wood body, and quite similar in appearance.
Inspired by the Class G2 cars built by the Missabe in the early 1900s,
this latest run of WalthersProto HO models features look-alikes found on many roads well into the 1970s. Over 30 factory-applied parts inside and out include brake gear, smoke jack, grab irons, running boards, handrails and more, and they'll be available in seven different roadnames. On track for an August 2021 delivery, get your reservations in now!
