Does anyone know where I can find NE-12 steel sided rear cupola Burlington caboose in O scale?

As far as I know, the only way you can have a NE-12 is to build it yourself or have Malcolm build one for you.
Semi-streamlined cabooses are a dime a dozen in HO thanks to TYCO train sets. Some very nice brass models of the NE-12 have been made in HO.
As far as I am aware no one has made one in plastic in O. I do not know if they have been made from brass in O scale.
The GN had similar style cabooses. This model was scratch built by Malcolm.
Ted the only CB&Q Waycars built in O scale were made by sunset NE-4 / O Scale Brass Oriental AJIN CB&Q Burlington NE-1 Caboose and in kit form by All nation and Mullet River model works. I do remember seeing on Malcolm's face book page that he had built an NE12 for somebody.

That is "Brother Love" over on the 2-Rail SCALE Forum. He scratch builds the absolute BEST O-Scale cabooses you have ever seen, out of styrene and brass.
He is Brother Love on the forum and a talented scratch builder.
Thanks everyone,
I wish we had one in O gauge,
If it's in HO, why not us?
Here's the amphibious verson Q caboose.
Another option might be to use a Santa Fe version and paint/decal for a "close enough" version. This is a 20-91197.
