I've been trying to find a RF&P caboose for some time with no success. Has any manufacturer ever made a 3 rail RF&P caboose?

MTH 30-77038 from the 2004-1 catalog.
MTH 30-77117 from the 2006-2 catalog.
Both are of the Northeast style of caboose. Now sure if they are prototypical.

I am petty sure Lionel made a Bay Window version back in the MPC days, don't know how accurate it is. Try the Bay...

RF&P appears to have three distinct styles of cabooses that were used. The most recent were extended vision cabooses, followed by N&W later style steel cabooses, and finally a wood caboose that is reminiscent of a, C&O, B&O, or N&W wood sheathed caboose.
I'm not sure who has made these in RF&P in O scale, but the extended vision caboose is a pretty common model and Quality Craft (old Weaver) made a wood and metal kit that does a good job of replicating the wood sided caboose.

But that’s an N scale caboose.
Neil, I have seen RF&P cabooses in 3-rail O before. Just set up a search favorite in eBay and wait for one to become available. I have similar searches for other items. It may take a while, but you’ll find one.
