B&O 3XXX series all-steel caboose weighing 67,300 lbs. Built by International Car Corporation in 1966, it was one of 46 in the order that was the first bay-window cabooses to be purchased from a caboose builder. Until that time, all bay-window cabooses were built in the B&O shops.

From a Chessie/B&O site I found.

There is a lot of variation between orders of vans built by ICC. Every order was customized to the railroad's request, and you're unlikely to find an available model that _exactly_ matches your subject. You'll have to get whatever ICC prototype bay-window van that is available, and either make do or plug and cut new windows.

Jeff-although this is a model, is this what you're kinda looking for?

I've been searching this evening-no luck yet-you DO mean a Chessie paint scheme,
correct? (& not the original C&O scheme) because I found a # of those. I'll continue-
the SEARCH is ON!

If you're willing to spend big bucks ($144.00) and do it in N scale, N Scale Supply has a sale on Overland Models N versions of this exact caboose, OMI-1031 in B&O, OMI-1032 in C&O, and OMI-1033 in CSXT.  ;D ;D ;D

See www.nscalesupply.com for photos of models.

Jeff-Oops! That IS green, isn't it!  :-[
sorry-it looked blue to me on my monitor last nite. (I guess my lack of coffee at
the time was showing!) 

I kinda had an idea it wasn't a "safety" cab you were looking for-but wasn't sure-
thanks for clearing that up. (remember that little story I emailed u about? ha!)

I'll do some more "hunting" tomorrow-as for now I'm getting ready to go out
with my better half (& fellow MTW member!)  ;D

I hope this won't be as hard to find as HD's IC boxcar! (need to dig out more
of my old railfan mags!)

I know this is not a Chessie but it's a B&O that's pretty cool

Didn't Athearn release this car recently with the green safety "+"?

IAN!

 If you mean the bay window caboose similar to the one up there except the Cat is on the
LEFT instead of the right...and the safety thing on the right...then I know Athearn RTR just
released that one in HO! That's good for me. Hehe.

Jeff (MrKLUKE)

That would be it!
