I have a work caboose I just bought and would like to put some barrels on the deck. Where can I get them? Thanks.

Scenery Unlimited shows several different barrel types on their website. They are exclusively an S gauge supplier.
I'll give them a try. Thanks.
What size barrels? 31 gal, 40 gal, 55 gal, or some other size?
I'm looking more for wood type barrels.
Those are the only ones I know of specifically S. Usually I make do with HO or O depending on what the item is. The NASG site has a long list of vendors, one listed there may have some.
Chris,
Wiseman also has large wooden barrels cast in resin. wiseman
Rusty Stumps has some nice ones too. Rusty Stumps

"Gauge" is the distance between the rails.
"Scale" is the relative size of a model.
You are looking for "S SCALE" barrels.

Your right Rich. I should know better! 
Chris, I just read this thread. I have S wooden barrels in resin. Contact me offline.

Purveyors of model ships/kits....wooden sailing types, in particular...often sell fittings appropriate to model railroading.
One such outfit is ModelExpo. And they offer wooden barrels in a variety of sizes...
But, there are other manufacturers/suppliers that do the same....
etc., etc., etc..
FWIW, always....

Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I actually picked up some MTH O scale barrels that worked out pretty good.

Chris, Now that you can "roll out the barrels" have you found an S scale polka band to go with them?

Or at least a sound chip to play it. . . . I guess you can say that car has been "spiked." (spike barrels)
