Is there one of these out there somewhere? The model not the paint job?

I have done extensive research on the streamlined cupola caboose. I have one 90 percent done in sketchup,but that is all so far. I did measurements on two of the cabooses,one DT&I the other AA. Otherwise there has not been one done for any of the train simulators. Thia style cab has way more curved surfaces than any other cab you will encounter. Plus mine is detailed with 6 sided handrails. But the short answer is NO,at the moment.

Thanks. My intent was to do a model/mesh that could be 3d printed for N and Z scale. And of course,be imported into RW. So the original has a high number of faces. I know about the hazards of converting sketch-up to other formats to import. The second LOD would be only 1/2 or less of the primary mesh. I have many irons in the fire,so it will be awhile. I started this model 5 years ago!
