K-Line #K615-1895 PRR N5C caboose

This model is a very nicely detailed PRR N5C caboose that has sprung trucks, add on railings, see-through roofwalk and lighted interior. The road number is 478014. It is designated as Eastern Region. The lettering includes "Buy War Bonds". Built date 4-42.

Notes: The lettering appears to be authentic. See reference to the prototype car: Keystone Vol 21, #2 PRR 478014 "Buy War Bonds"

Is this the same car made by RMT, now?

RMT apparently is reproducing what was once the K-Line caboose

The slant on either side of the cupola is more than a tad over-exaggerated compared to the prototype.

For comparison, here's the MTH Railking model from another thread:

Pro Hobby,

Way cool PRR War Bonds Caboose, if RMT is reproducing it, I will probably purchase both the Pittsburgh Region and the Eastern Ohio Region War Bond PRR multi round window Cabooses. If RMT decides to make the Mini Cabin WAG Logging Caboose, with the War Bonds lettering, I will definitely purchase a couple of them also.

I had one and sold it because of the cartoon like cupola. Find a MTH if you cannot afford a Kohs. j

Exactly, TOTALLY wrong! A shame since these were so nice other wise. Definitely would NOT have one as a PRR fan.

Both MTH and Lionel make them correctly.

Yes! There was always something about these that bugged me, something off about that cupola, windows are too big as well I believe.

To hedge-supplement my above reply, I wouldn't be surprised to see a prototype with that type cupola and windows but I haven't seen pictures of one yet. Also, I believe Lionel might have made some like this as well
