Can anyone tell me if any manufacturers make an N5C Porthole Caboose in G Scale? I'm doing some hunting for a friend. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
I was able to find an announcement from Lionel, they plan on adding one to their Christmas R/C set.

Is there a picture of it available?
Aristocraft advertised one a few years back ART-84004 but I don't know if it was produced. I'v always liked them since I was A kid

HighOnDieselFumes Is there a picture of it available?
Only pic's I've seen are O27 & N.
Aristo made a limited run of brass ones, they were a faithful copy of one that has been restored (although the restoration was a bit different from the original)
They bought back most of them, many came damaged in shipping, and there are problems with the soldering in many, the trucks are soldered together.
They cost $375 each as I remember. A nice looking model if you are not a stickler for the details being exactly prototype.
Hard to find for sale.

Now I know what I'm looking for, just have to find one. Thanks.
