Can someone help me here?I need to know what is the length of a N scale caboose from end of coupler to end of coupler.
Thank you

any type of atlas caboose.
Thanks Blane

 

Hi Blane,

Atlas #35635 Cupola Caboose with original Accumate couplers:

coupler-to coupler (including trip pins) - 3"
coupler-to-coupler (not including trip pins - 2 7/8"

Hope this helps.

 

Interesting but curious question. I'm in no place to measure but I'd love to know why you ask. Perhaps there is something subtle we can assist with.

 

I am going to do an n scale layout and in the yard I'm modeling the caboose track holds 6 cabooses and I don't have one yet.That was the reason I needed to know.Hope to have photos of the yard in a couple months. Thanks for all the help.

If you are planning on six cabooses, make the track long enough to hold eight. Believe me, you will eventually need it.

 

Gentlemen thanks for the info the yard that I'm going to model is the one I grew up next to it will be 50 cars long as is the real one so can't wait to get the ball rolling.
Thanks Blane
