What distinguishes Bachmann 15755
The official listing identifies the model as an Old-Time Bobber Caboose decorated for Western Maryland #1200. The current product record shows the red body, black roof, center cupola, and yellow end rails. Those visible details help separate this item from other short cabooses and similarly named releases.
Bachmann assigns item 15755 UPC 022899157559 and N scale, 1:160. The 15755 item number is the quickest catalog cross-check; the UPC adds a second identifier when a reseller shortens the product title. Use both with the photographs if a listing’s punctuation or road-name wording differs.

How it fits an N scale layout
At 1:160, this model is intended for N scale layouts. Before adding it to a train, compare the scale and the railroad number with the scene you are building. A caboose that is the right scale can still be the wrong release for a collection organized by road name or number.
Bachmann describes its old-time bobber cabooses as short, four-wheel cars used by mainline and short-line railroads in the late 1800s and early 1900s. That series context makes 15755 a natural visual choice for an old-time freight scene. The listing does not establish a specific prototype build date or detailed Western Maryland service history for this model, so treat the historical era as the maker’s broad series description.
For a freight consist, modelers commonly place a caboose at the rear when following a traditional operating arrangement. Match the practice to the railroad and period represented on your layout; the product listing itself does not prescribe an operating scheme.
Details to check before choosing
- Confirm the box or listing says 15755 and UPC 022899157559.
- Check that Western Maryland #1200 is the road name and number you want.
- Compare the red body, black roof, center cupola, and yellow end rails with the product photos.
- Verify that N scale (1:160) matches the rest of your layout.
- Check coupler compatibility, curve clearance, and operation against your own cars and track before building a long consist.
- Check the live product page for current price, stock, and ordering details before purchase.
The Bachmann listing confirms the item identity and scale but does not give a minimum curve radius or detailed coupler specification on that page. If either measurement matters to your layout, verify it with the manufacturer’s current instructions or compare the model directly with equipment you already run.
