Monroe Models 2220 HO Scale Yard Office Caboose Model Railroad Building Kit

About This Item

The model is based on an original standard-design wood caboose. These cabooses were built around 1909-1921 and lasted in service until the 1960s, when some were converted into yard offices for train crews to meet, get orders, store belongings, rest and warm up on cold days.

Each kit includes one laser-cut caboose made of precision laser-cut bass wood, fiber board, plastic and cast metal parts. All parts are designed for easy tab-and-slot construction with peel-and-stick trim, windows and doors. Custom metal castings match the prototype Smoke Jack, Latrine Vent, fuel tank and two junk piles. A 30 scale-foot caboose with full photographic and diagrammed instructions.
