NE-6 Caboose

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Thanks to EVERYONE who sent info on N&W steam-era cabooses. While the 
NE-6 LOOKS passable, its obviously not something that would have 
ridden at the end of a Y6-drawn coal drag or fast freight, so the one 
I have will just be a temporary fix.
Can anyone give me some guidance as to what WOULD be appropriate, and 
who might offer models of such out there?

Thanks!
