Here's someone making rolling stock for logging layouts in N scale. Looks like mostly resin kits.

Small Scale Logistics

Got a question - they have a bobber caboose that mounts on a single truck. In their picture the truck has couplers on both ends. Where you get one of those?

Tyson - I think you're right - to quote from the description - "You must supply one archbar truck and one pair of couplers." Duh!

Hi Bill,
That Nn3 Crummy/Logging Caboose is in fact a Bobber, you can make one for N-scale using a cut down caboose chassis, and scratchbuild a body for it out of stripwood and card. I made my H0 version this way. If you cut the chassis in the middle, and cut off one end with the coupler on, then re-join the end piece with the couplerto the main chassis, you will have a chassis with two couplers on a pair of wheels.
