Traincat NYC transfer caboose?

The other day I stumbled upon an old website that showed two NYC transfer caboose kits (HO) by “Traincat.” The site was about 15 years old, but I wonder if anyone knows how to get ahold of one? Nothing on ebay. ~ Walt Lankenau

Another option might be to find one of the models from Bluford Shops.

Been looking at those, but they’re not very accurate for NYC. Nice paint and lettering, though.

Bob still posts here (railwire) - most of his stuff was N scale.

Was the caboose you're after one of these (list of discontinued)?

Yes, one of those. Of course by now it appears that everything is discontinued. Would love to find one of these kits somewhere. ~ Walt

Yes, the TrainCat business was closed down several years ago. But recently boB has unofficially revived some of his N scale etchings.  But I haven't seen him on the forum for some time again.
