Is it easier to model an N5C caboose then say the real caboose class that most railroads used, like the NMb thru NMp, not the N5C. I am not able to find an N5C caboose in the Reading Lines roster. Also there were N6 style cabooses, some in Pennsy line-up.

Are you modeling scale or semi-scale? RMT has them in semi-scale but not Reading.
Williams by Bachman has them also has one in the Reading line semi-scale.
Here is a weaver reading caboose i don't know if u like this one or not http://weavermodels.com/NECab/U2917.jpg
Lee:
The center cupola car, also known as the "Northeastern" caboose, offered by Weaver, MTH and Lionel is your best bet for an accurate O gauge model of a Reading caboose. In fact, the "Northeastern" design, as it came to be known by fans, originated on the Reading. These models have been released in a number of different RDG schemes in recent years.
Reading also operated more modern extended vision cabooses. O scale models of these cars have been released in RDG livery as well.
I hope these tips are of some help.
