You won't find a better looking/better constructed caboose, Rambo.  I purchased two Tangent NYC steel bay window cabooses the same day I received their email announcement back in Sep '21.  Pricey?  Yes...but they are BEAU-TI-FUL!

It's 1/2 the price of brass, it's painted inside & out, and it's outfitted with a detailed interior and no-flicker LED lighting.  Given that accurate NYC cabooses are as rare as hen's teeth, they are worth every penny in my book.  I even bought one of the undecorated NYC caboose kits to make a Lot 778 version.

And, apparently, I wasn't the only one excited with Tangent's announcement.  The NYC cabooses sold out in <2 weeks.

Do they have sound

What kinds of sounds would a caboose make?  And if it makes a sound, does it roll quitely away so that one of the other cabooses gets blamed?

My guess is that it probably depends on what the Conductor had for breakfast...do those caboose windows open?
