Tinplate Caboose with a light?

MannyrockOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

Hey Folks,

I finally got my long string of six inch Marx tinplate cars up and running, being pulled by one of my modern diesels.

The couplers are the simple tab and slot type

I would really like to have a lighted caboose to finish it out. Especially one with tab and slot couplers, so I wouldn't have to modify it.

Are there one or two "classic" lighted cabooses that anyone can recommend?

They don't have to be Marx, but I would like to keep it at 8 inches or less, if possible.

Thanks for all advice.

P.S.- You tinplate folks are really helpful to a new tinplate person, and I really really appreciate it.

Flyer made a 6.5 inch 3014 enameled caboose, both in 4 and 8 wheel versions, that should have a light in it and comes with tab and slot couplers. Make sure you check to see if it had a light, as I am not sure all of the small cabooses had lights.

All of the Flyer 6 1/2" enameled cabooses (3004, 3014, and 3017) came either with or without a light - as NWL said - you will have to check the item to see if it does have a light.
