Bethlehem Car Works has released a new kit in HO scale. It is a Interstate caboose. The kit will build number 20 and 21 cabs. These are the two cabooses that were purchased from Lackawanna. The kit has 4 windows on each side, so it is good for the June 1954 to May 1968. These cabs were rebuild in 1968 to 2 windows and different siding. The price for the kit is $65.00. The cab is listed under the Sparrow's point product line. See their web site at: http://www.bethlehemcarworks.com/
