Is there any way to make a NS Top Gon in HO? Also, does anyone know what types of gondolas the Somerset Railroad has besides BethGons and Thrall 50 footers? (if any)

You would almost need to buy a NS coal car and then somehow paint top gon on it i have yet too see a manufactur who make them, cause ns converted them to begin with.
