I have a Lionel Boston & Albany Berkshire locomotive #6-11389. Does Lionel make a caboose for this engine (and if not then does any other manufacturer make one)?

I thought K-Line made/offered a very nice scale sized B&A caboose, back when they came out with that beautiful B&A 2-8-4.
K Line made one ,K616-3181 detailed interior, nice lighting and a smoke unit. These are scarce. I'm not sure of its accuracy as its a "Santa Fe style" caboose:
Lionel also made one many years ago 6920. These are common and affordable on the secondary market/ebay.
No interior detail, basic lighting -one bulb for the whole thing , no smoke unit.
Its more accurate I believe, as its a "New York Central style" caboose:
Both Lionel and K-Line made B&A cabooses. The Lionel was sold with the factory mail order B&A Hudson. The K-Line version was made in the early 2000's to go with their Berkshires. Both seem to be fantasy schemes. I prefer to make my own. I have a fleet of 4 Berkshires. I look to find a reasonable priced Williams brass one in any road name. Re paint, re position the trucks, change the lamps out, add Atlas trucks, and letter it up.

Thanks all for the info. That K-Line looks pretty nice.
