Model Die Casting PM Caboose #A901

 

The second commercially-available caboose manufactured in PM paint and lettering was Model Die Casting's HO scale kit #C-110. It was a screw-together die cast kit painted and lettered as PM caboose #A901. Produced into the 1950s, it was later released as a plastic model, kit #C16-2:50. The die cast model was prone to disintegrating due to impurities in the white metal, so they are not as common today as the plastic model. The plastic model was discontinued by 1960.

Like nearly every other manufacturer up until the 1990s, they didn't get the PM's style of lettering quite right, but they certainly did better than some of their contemporaries.
