R26a 2 N Full Height Chassis for Arnold Bobber Cab

Two replacement underframes for the Arnold N scale bobber caboose. This version has conventional passenger car steps and sits 1mm taller than the R25a kit, making it more compatible with N scale coupler heights. Based on Pennsylvania, NYC, Ma&Pa, and NYO&W examples first used about 1875 and lasting into the 1930s. See J H White's American Railroad Freightcar, page 414 for an early example. Requires wheelsets with .540" axles (MT and others), both 33" and 36" wheels fit. Starter holes are located for wire railings and MT couplers (not included). MicroTrains caboose end railings, part 49950905, can be attached with minimal filing to the end beams.

Because of their small size and fine detail, Frosted Ultra Detail is the preferred material. Clean with warm soapy water (a cheap ultrasonic cleaner works great). Use toothbrush soaked in Bestine rubber cement remover if particularly greasy. Enamels or acrylics recommended.

Part Number 26a.
