Lionel Three Rivers "Pittsburgh Region" caboose #6-36653 - Built date 2010
This model is a very nicely detailed modern version of the classic Lionel "porthole" caboose. The lettering on the car is road number 477939. It is designated as Pittsburgh Region. The caboose features plastic trucks and lighted interior. The body features full rivet detail including the rivet strip under the portholes. The car is missing a roof top smoke jack.
The body on this car was attached to a Lionel 6-36659 caboose that has sprung trucks and underbody detail since both caboose models attach using 4 small screws. See the last photo.
The car color is painted bright red instead of the traditional Tuscan red color. (See the prototype photo.)
