Cab Caboose

[bnsfc]

I'm trying to find a Cab Caboose for use on a short line in TANE. I know JR has a CN one but it just has lights, I'm looking for one with horn, bell, (literally all the bells as whistles :hehe. I'm not even sure if one exists and any help would be appreciated.

No such thing, caboose(s) do not have bells or horns.

Caboose's do have an air whistle, possibly some had an actual horn to communicate with the loco

You can make a driveable caboose using an AI brake attached, or by using Cyberstorms Driveable SuperAdaptor, or by configuring a caboose converting it from a simple railcar, making it into a driveable loco

Not true. When a caboose is needed on the end of a shove over a long distance it is not unusual to have some kind of air horn, lights, or bell.

It could be as simple as putting real-engine 0 in the config and adding a horn and bell kuid to the config, you could even put headlights on it.

Yea, unfortunately I don't posses the necessary know-how to make one, I was really hoping one existed.


"No such thing, caboose(s) do not have bells or horns." As norfolksouthern37 mentioned they do exist. one operated near my home. the line was only 6 miles long and the only run around was at one of the interchanges, but since most of the crossings where either cross-bucks or just lights, they needed at least a horn (not sure about a bell) and lights so people would actually stop.

The P&WV begs to differ

And I have an older model of horn-equipped P&WV and N&W cars on JR.

Here's another one....

It's pretty obvious too even with headlights. It was at the head of the train...

Is that an air conditioner centered on the cupola ?

Yup. I think so.
