Illinois Terminal (ITC) “Personalized Service Green Repaint 1972+” takes us to the 1970s, where the Illinois Terminal is repainting cabooses in additional variations of green paint.  This scheme advertises “The Road of Personalized Services” and brackets the Illinois Terminal shadow script lettering with body length yellow stripes.  Accurate for this era, the model also features ACI labels and a single COTS stencil with prototypical data details from the ITC’s Federal Yard in Alton, IL.  The silver underframe really shows off the details of the model including accurate Illinois Terminal equipment boxes, toilet dump pipe and Gould Foundry plain bearing caboose trucks.  The interior is painted a solid dark green for this era and is illuminated with LED “warm” lights to replicate incandescent bulbs.
