R25a 2 New N Chassis for Arnold Bobber Caboose x2

Two replacement underframes for the Arnold N scale bobber caboose. This version has conventional passenger car steps. A lower and more accurate chassis than the original, it sits lower than the normal N scale coupler height, and is meant to use Z couplers. See R26a for a taller height version. Based on Pennsylvania, Central Pacific, 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). Fits 33" or 36" wheels. 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 prefered material. Clean with warm soapy water (cheap ultrasonic cleaners work great) before painting. Use toothbrush soaked in Bestine rubber cement remover if particularly greasy. Enamels or acrylics recommended.
