Boston & Maine Caboose by Atlas O | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

My Atlas O Trainman model of Boston & Maine caboose #482 arrived today. According to Atlas O, this is a model of a caboose made by Magor Car Corporation in 1937 in Clifton, New Jersey. It is a nicely detailed model that looks and runs well. Two items are noteworthy. The grab rails are molded in, not added on, although the paint is applied so accurately that this is hardly noticeable to me. Also, no conductor figure is seated in the caboose. I ran the model behind my MTH Premier B&M GP7 #1563, an older model with PS1 and a BCR. It is running at 29 scale miles-per-hour in the video.

I have a postwar Lionel 1966 model B and M GP-9 that is painted in the "blue bird" colors. That caboose would look good with it.

Nice looking model. I’m a sucker for a caboose especially B&M.
