HO - Freight Cars PRR N-5 Caboose History: The
N-5 was the world's first all steel cabin car. Produced in 1914 by Lines East
these cars were equipped with archbar, leaf spring trucks and small tool boxes
under their sides. While it was referred to as a center cupola, the N-5 cupola
was actually 12 1/2" off center. It had a brake lever on each end of the platform
instead of the brake wheel. Over the years some changes occured. the top lights
and tool boxes were removed, Ajax brake wheels replaced the brake levers, AB brakes
replaced the K style, and coil spring trucks were replaced by leaf spring trucks.
New end sills, collision posts and new end railings were added. The stove and
chimney were moved from the end of the car closer to the cupola. There were a
total of 616 cars built in this era. Antenna support system not included. (Drill
spots for locating antenna system supports are molded into underside of roof).
