6120 Work Caboose

Production: 1961 - 1963

History

Features
Although manufactured for a few years, the 6120 caboose is hard to find. Standard features include: unpainted yellow tray and cab, black frame, arch-bar trucks and a fixed coupler. There are no markings or lettering on the frame or cab and a smokestack was never mounted on the roof of the caboose.
