This Trainz model of a freelance American Civil War era Conductor's Car, as shown at left, should be available at the Trainz Download Station (DLS) later today. A conductor's car is just another name for a caboose car. This model will work with Trainz TC3, 2009, and 2010. I plan to make a TRS2004 and TRS2006 version of the car available sometime soon.

To use either car, you'll also need to download and install the following two trucks required for the conductor's car. These trucks are for Trainz TC3, 2009, and 2010. TRS2004/2006 version will be available shortly.

The Civil War Era Caboose Car
This is a freelance model of a conductor's car with a canvas covered, arched roof, from the era of the America Civil War (1861-1865) based on historic photographs and dimensional data of various cars from the period. Early caboose cars were typically "one of a kind", each fashioned from whatever box car might be available by the railroad's car builder shops -- the variety used and actual location of crew-conveniences such as doors, windows, ladders, steps, etc. varied during the period.
