Hi Larry,
Although this may not be of much help: there appeared an
article by Scott Seekins on kitbashing an N-scale NE-12 in the July 1991 Model
Rairoading Magazine. The author started with a Micro-Trains standard wood
caboose.
The article was titled: "Until the real thing comes along"

Charlie,
I would say that the NE-12 has always been my favorite waycar.
Unfortunately, my cigar box is about $59,980 short of the needed funds.
Hopefully, Atlas
or Kato will want to find a need to put their trucks under a NE-12.
Otherwise,
I will have to go without. I'm not sure my kitbashing skills are up to the
task.
Thanks!
Larry Owen

Atlas and Kato both make appropriate trucks for the car.
If you have an extra $60,000 laying around in a cigar box somewhere that
should be enough to make the project happen....
