– D&H “Bridge Line Repaint 1981+ Era” w/Interior Lights & Lit FRA Flasher duplicates a very specific Delaware & Hudson caboose. Three of the Erie Lackawanna 1953 ICC cabooses were transferred to D&H in 1976, numbered DH 35805-35807. This Tangent model shows how D&H 35805 appeared in its 1981+ configuration. Let’s cut to the chase: Look at those trucks! By 1981, the 35805 lost one of its ERIE General Steel Castings Express trucks and had it changed to a plain bearing leaf spring caboose truck. The 35805 ran with this truck configuration for the rest of its D&H career. We have accurately modeled this neat detail on the model – so please don’t send your model back to us and tell us “we did it wrong I want my money back!” Instead, blame the D&H! The model is painted in D&H bright red with “THE BRIDGE LINE” slogan, and the classy D&H logo, which is owned by the Delaware & Hudson Railway Historical Society. The ACI label has been removed, with a patch remaining. The side marker lights were removed and plated over by the D&H Oneonta, NY shop personnel during its refurbishing. The wagon wheel antenna is gone, replaced with a Motorola firecracker antenna. On one end, you will notice a plated window with oil fill, as D&H installed an oil bunker in that corner for the CABAN oil heater. For lighting, this D&H 35805 is equipped with “golden” interior lights, mimicking the incandescent bulbs of the real cabooses along with flashing (red) end FRA lights. Notice the FRA light is offset to the left of the daytime red reflective disc, just like this exact prototype. A wand is included to operate the lights – easy with no fuss!
