Another possibility is one of the NMRA famous model railroad PRS cars; some of those came with Viking roofs, and since they are all unprototypical to begin with, someone may be willing to swap you one for a standard roof. I know I swapped one (I think from the Carstens boxcar) to another list member.

The N&W historical Society at one time offered an N&W boxcar that came with a Viking roof from PRS. Would anyone have one, the car or the roof, for sale? I know it's a long shot, but would save a lot of work scratchbuilding one or having one drawn up in 3D. Thanks Brian
