Seems like there is a plethora of lighted cabooses for O gauge out there, both past and present. But, surprising to me, so very few with flashing rear lights. I wonder why?
The OP's inquiry was a bit of a puzzle to me, because most every caboose I've gotten for years, extended vision or bay window, whether from Lionel, Atlas O or MTH, has had a flashing rear light. Yes, the top two (Atlas O and Lionel shown) are scale and fairly expensive, but even traditional Lionel bay window cabooses (bottom two photos) have had flashing rear lights for years now. The Atlas O flashers have a pretty neat effect, because each flash starts dimly and builds to bright and then dims again before turning off.
