New York Central (NYC) “Lot 827 Century Green Repaint with Right NYC Logo 1963+” represents the earliest version of the green repaint scheme applied by New York Central to the Lot 827 class. These St. Louis Car Company-built cabooses were shopped at NYC’s Beech Grove Shops in Indiana. The rebuilt Lot 827 caboose changes included electrical lighting, a battery charging system, and new oil stoves, along with new Century (“Jade”) Green paint and a new number series.  Check out those distinctive roof vents added during rebuilding but the original SLCC “taller” style smokejack.  These cabooses feature the NYC “cigar band” logo on the right side of the car and the NYC font stencils in the center under the bay window. The fully-painted and lit interior features black seats and stove, and Century green cabinets and walls which was the repainted interior color when these cabooses were shopped. Each SKU includes road number-specific yes-or-no application of the white painted areas above the bay window, and locations of the NYC logo and “Road To The Future” slogan.
