Anyone know where I could get Caboose interiors (Benches, tables, stoves) for HO scale Cabooses?

I believe both Tichy and Cannon have complete setd for specific make cabeece. Benches and tables can be done with popcicle sticks, pain them and no one;s the wiser. stoves ARE avilable seperately I dn’t have the product numbers handy. If you’re doing cuped cabeece, you need the storage lockers/ladders as well.

Kato makes a caboose interior for Athearn, Bachmann and AHM wide-vision cabeese. Part #395-3501 in Walthers catalog.

Alpine Division Scale Models makes a caboose interior, part #700-421 in that catalog. This certainly appears to be a re-release of the old Suydam “Ayers” caboose interior. It consists of milled wood blocks for the lockers, benches, seats, and a table. I have used a number of these kits (the Suydam ones) over the years, and they are very versitle and easy to work with. Parts left over from outfitting a “shorty” caboose can provide the extra seats for that drover caboose. A little green paint for interior surfaces, black paint for the seat pads, and some small staples for steps to the cupola and you are ready to go.

Grandt Line makes a variety of caboose stoves, including part #300-5007.

I searched both sites and was not able to find any caboose interior parts as I have several I would like to finish off with interiors also. I have used parts from precision scale see link below for benchs seats. etc. and Grant line has some nice exterior details I have also used casting of things like pot belly stove etc. from Scale structures ( link below) part of Alloyfoms.com for detail parts. Lots for O scale but nothing specific for HO Micromark used offer an ON30 caboose interior kit but it’s discontinued

I’ve used the Alpine Division Scale Models kit in the past for an old ONR caboose and like Bill said, it’s very easy to work with.

Go to the Walthers site and do a search for “caboose interior” and you will see them. Use the " symbol on both ends to narrow down the search to only those words.
