Locos and rolling stock

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a caboose to form a train with a BigBoy in N scale. I've looked for some UP caboose but i've not found a lot, only an Athearn caboose but it's hard to find in online stores.

Wich caboose do you recommend me?

Best wishes!!

The Athearn cupolla caboose is a S.F. prototype.

Their wide vision caboose (too new for a Big Boy) is a Rock Island prototype, I think, and the bay window is a S.P. prototype. In HO scale it is only recently that anyone has had a U.P. prototype caboose available. I don't know if anyone has come out with a U.P. prototype in N-scale. It may or may not be a big deal to you about the prototype that the model railroad company makes their model from, depending on whether you want to model a strict prototype U.P. caboose or would be happy with a generic model painted for the U.P.

you have a good choice...
