the Marx NYC 3/16" scale caboose is actually a smaller model numbered only 20102 and despite the Greeenberg price guide listing, i don't believe it was ever factory made as an illuminated version.  this confusion might be due to the Marx 6" tin NYC "illuminated" caboose with the same number.

 

the NYC 20110-20124 caboose series is categorized as 7" tin.  my guess is that with this size, a 3 x 5 pattern could be printed on a standard metal sheet size, each car with a different number.  Eight different roadnames appeared on this style caboose, but only three came in a 15 number series... the NYC in red/gray "Pacemaker" livery already mentioned, the B&O in blue/silver colors (C-504 thru C-518) and my favorite, the Yellow/Red/Black 7" KCS caboose (#966* thru #980).  the KCS caboose was the only one of those three available only with a 4-wheel frame.

 

*an error in the Greenberg Marx Price Guide that's never been fixed, the KCS series does in fact range from #966 thru #980 and not #969 thru #980 as listed...

 

KCS 966

cheers...gary
