HO MOW Conrail Caboose Decals

After the creation of Conrail on April 1, 1976 the railroad faced a huge logistical task of re-numbering, re-classing, and re-painting the caboose fleet. However, once they started doing that, a unified look started to come to the fleet of cabooses from railroads of different colors. This decal set was created to cover every class of caboose used in MOW service, Ex-EL N3, Ex-PRR/PC N5 and an Ex-NH/PC NE6. Of these three classes, the N3 has been imported in brass and also as a resin kit by JJL Models, the NE6 has been imported in brass and produced in plastic by Intermountain, the N5 has been produced in various forms including brass and most notably as a plastic kit from Bowser.

A vast majority of the N5 stayed in their as-built configuration with the original steps and original single-spring trucks, however some did receive the new steps.
