The Lionel 6-17603 Rock Island Caboose #17603 is a model train accessory that is ready to go out of the box. This brown plastic caboose, featuring a light function, is designed in 1:48 scale and is part of the Three-Rail System. Manufactured in 1988 by the brand Lionel, this caboose is perfect for collectors or hobbyists looking to add a vintage touch to their model railroad layout. With its analog control system and iconic Rock Island corporate roadname, this caboose is a charming addition to any O gauge train collection.
This caboose is a great gift to our son. He inherited the family interest in the Rock Island RR as my father, his grandfather worked with. He was close to his grandpa and took interest in the Rock. He has a couple cars and needed the caboose which was hard to find. Lucky me I was able to find it on E-Bay and gave as a Christmas gift. He was so surprised and was his favorite gift. He is nearing 40 yrs. old so naturally he will treasure it. Thank you for offering it.
My grandfather who was a Spanish American War Vet worked for the Rock Island Line in the era of the caboose, and other cars I've obtained. This meant a lot to me. I have his railroad pocket watch. It still keeps perfect time.
One that was still made in America from 1986, I was impressed with the detail and is much bigger then the postwar cabooses Lionel made back then.. If you want an old vintage looking caboose for your layout this is the one!! Still has good weight to it..
