This car is certainly a distinctive piece of rolling stock and definately merits a place in interchange service. Cannonball Car Shops is working on putting out a plastic kit, but their web page is a little hard to follow - see: http://www.mrrwarehouse.com/index.htm

Another alternative is to check ebay for brass. I picked up a nice wagontop caboose that was fairly inexpensive. Speaking of which, Pacific Mountain Scale Shops offers a resin kit of the caboose, which looks really nice. See: www.pacificmountain.ca/store.htm
