If anyone has one left over from a kitbash, or one from any 2-10-2 or a Frisco decapod, please contact me off list.

Trainman;
If you can't find one, why not scratch it?

I could but I am not much of a builder, more of a scenery and ops guy.

Yeah.  Just build your own.  It's only four walls, maybe a couple of simple windows and a roof.  15 maybe 20 minutes with some sheet plastic and a sharp knife.  A quick spray of flat black from a spray can and you're done.  :)

Cheers

I have built several; one in particular was built from parts from an Eastern Car Works caboose.  Doing these little projects are actually a lot of fun; and, when installed, painted and "blended" into the tender, can give the builder a great deal of satisfaction.  I don't believe one has to be a "real modeler" to do this; just, as Roger said, some styrene-or even ABS-sheet, a pencil, scale, and an exacto knife will probably do the trick.
If you would like to try your hand at this, I encourage you to do so, and discuss your progress here.
