Cabooses

SANTA FE's
WAYCARS (CABOOSES)

The Division Point hasn't done an O-scale project since before 2000, but we have threatened to do the Santa Fe cabooses in O-scale for years. Well here we go! What better way to begin again on O-scale than with the Santa Fe's "waycars" (cabooses to the rest of us!). We've picked a nice mix, and we hope they will interest you.

Both O-scale and Proto:48 trucks will be available. The Division Point will offer this LIMITED EDITION project of only 100 pieces. Contact us to reserve yours!

As usual, we are indebted to those folks who publish the information and photos we need. We urge you to buy their books and photos.
