Former American Model Builders Kit

First produced by the ACL's Waycross shops in 1922, the M-3 became the standard caboose on the ACL for over 40 years with a few remaining in service as late as 1969. Although most received plywood siding by the end of their careers, a few that were shopped as late as 1966 still kept their original siding.

Newly revised Kit No. 859 now features 100% laser-cut components with custom laser-scribed side and end walls, Tab & Slot and Peel & Stick construction, laser-cut underframe, end platforms, ladders, end railing, and brake wheel stand, cast resin platform steps, white metal smokejacks, cast resin brake gear, fully illustrated instructions that provide information on painting and decaling the assembled model, and several fixtures to aid the modeler in creating all the handholds and ladders appropriate for the prototype. We recommend the purchase of Microscale decal set No. 87-976, Kadee No. 580 Bettendorf Caboose Trucks, Kadee No. 581 Bettendorf T-Section Caboose Trucks, or Kadee No. 583 Arch Bar Caboose Trucks, and Kadee No. 5 couplers with draft gear boxes for completing this caboose.
