HO (1:87.1) Norfolk Southern "Admiral Cab"

The Admiral Cab is a Norfolk Southern-designed narrow-nose and low-hood cab which meets current FRA crashworthiness standards, not to be confused with the wide-nosed SD60E (or Crescent) cab. NS contracts with Curry Supply Co. of Curryville, PA to build the Admiral and SD60E cabs. The Admiral Cab retains the basic look and feel of a standard EMD cab, the exceptions being sharper angles, angled center windows, raised numberboard section, and under-floor air conditioning. The most important difference isn't visible externally. The nose portion of the Admiral cab is made of one inch thick steel vs. the quarter inch steel of the original EMD cab. This increase in thickness creates a safer environment for the crew in the event of a collision. The Admiral Cab weighs 12,500 lbs compared to the 3,500 lbs of an EMD cab and comes delivered to Juniata in one piece. High Cube Hobbies is proud to present the Admiral Cab to HO scale modelers for recreating NS Juniata rebuild locomotives in 1:87 scale. We want to see your results!
