Notes:
This model is an operating caboose, in that the brakeman pops out. It was produced in 1958 in three variations. One variation, shown in the photo, has "type 9" trucks while the second has one "type 9" and one "type 10" truck. The last variation is a bit odd in that it actually is a non-operating, non-illuminated caboose with plastic wheels and Pike-Master trucks.
