I will accept a stand-in until something becomes available.
For example, I took an American Models Union Pacific wood caboose, removed the
truss rods, added AB brake gear, painted the roof boxcar red(it was gray) and
the end beams caboose red(they were yellow) to better match UP practice.
The stock lettering could stand a rework, but laziness and "good enuf" kicked
in.
It's not a perfect solution, but it will do until something better crosses my
path.
