Our caboose is made up of all aluminum castings including a one-piece frame and roof.  All detail is cast into the parts.  Just clean up the castings with a file, drill the holes and bolt it together.  No railroad is complete without one!  Our caboose is very attractive and quite durable when completed.  Not included in the kit are the ladders, hand rails and marker lights which are additional details to be added by the builder.
