Bring classic Canadian railway history to life with the Rapido HO Scale CN Hawker Siddeley Caboose in the CN As Delivered Red/Orange Steps scheme. This highly detailed model recreates the iconic cabooses built for the Canadian National Railway in the 1960s, when CN began replacing its aging fleet of wood-end cupola vans with modern steel designs built for durability, comfort, and long service life.

Based on the original Hawker Siddeley builds delivered in 1967, this HO scale model captures the distinctive look and engineering of the prototype, from its upgraded steel body to its carefully replicated underframe and signature CN styling. Rapido has faithfully reproduced the intricate details these cabooses were known for, including fully detailed trucks, accurate exterior piping, and finely applied factory-installed details throughout.

The interior is fully finished and illuminated, featuring a complete multi-colour cabin with interior lighting that enhances the realism whether displayed on a layout or showcased on its own. Operational lighting functions such as marker lights, track lights, step lights, and cupola lighting bring added authenticity, making this model stand out both day and night.

Designed with smooth performance in mind, it features all-wheel pickup for reliable lighting and operation, as well as factory-installed metal couplers set at the correct height for dependable track performance. Etched metal end platforms and steps, see-through detailing, and finely molded grab irons complete the highly accurate exterior finish.

With its blend of historical accuracy, premium detailing, and operational features, the Rapido CN Hawker Siddeley Caboose is a standout piece for any serious HO scale railroad collection or Canadian National-themed layout.
