@MainLine Steam posted:I am new to all this, but have a question. I realize the Pacemaker Cabooses were sheathed over in plywood (to hide the wood grain) and were actually longer in length but.... Would there be the possibility of running some in that paint scheme if there was enough interest? It would be close enough for me. I have been slowly acquiring Weaver Pacemaker Box Cars over the last year and need a matching caboose to complete the train . I would buy 2 instead of just one, if that would help get it produced!
Thanks for your question. To expand on others that answered your question, the New York Central prototype Pacemaker Caboose was built on top of a boxcar frame, thus it was longer than the traditional wood side caboose. I have only seen a few true-prototypical O scale cabooses made in brass, and they are not easy to find. (I would like one myself!) Others have pointed out that MTH, Lionel and others has made Pacemaker cabooses in several different variations. Since they are so plentiful in the second-hand market, I will not be producing one with this run, but that doesn't mean maybe another dealer won't choose to produce it. I do appreciate your interest in the Pacemaker caboose. Here is a photograph of the last one that MTH produced in 2017.
Here is a link to the MTH Product page for this caboose:

I hope you may consider one or more of the cabooses we are offering!
