I’ve got an Athearn RTR CSX Operation Lifesaver caboose. It’s a neat little thing (bright too, red and white!) to tote around on my CSX locals.

waltersrails sorry dont have the pics scanned or on a disk at this time but as its a request i will try to.
i got the athearn rtr model as its a bay window and wanted 1 for my private road, was gonna remove the conrail and decal it for my road. dropped it off at home
about 2 months later i got into allentown,pa and it was sitting all by itself in the yard, natural curiosity got me and i went and took detail pics. got home about 3 weeks later got the pics developed studied them and got the model- and imagine to my surprise i had a model of a prototype.
now i gonna detail the model per the prototype details and get another for my road.

My SD60 is a proto 2000 in CSXT paint. I will repaint it to the IC Death Star Scheme and number it #7000. I might put ols on it.

I have an Athearn RTR CSX caboose in OLS paint - mainly bought it as I wanted something a little different. I just wish Athearn would take a leaf out of Bachmann’s book and put decent metal wheels on these - mine came with one-piece plastic wheelsets that were set to too wide a gauge for my Peco switches, so I had to replace them for the time being with some spare BB wheels. For a £13 model to lack metal wheels while a £5 one has them is bizarre to my mind.

My Athearn RTR CSX OLS Caboose came with metal wheelsets, windows, knuckle couplers and metal handrails. Interesting…
