This kit is a model of the No. 5 caboose built on a 24 foot, 15 ton capacity logging flat car by the West Side Lumber Co. of Tuolumne, CA. Number 5 remained in service until the end of operations in 1960, and throughout much of its life it used link and pin couplers and had no air brakes, although they were equipped with through-line air connections. Knuckle couplers and automatic air lines were added with the purchase of the Swayne log cars in 1940.
