Does anyone have info (or know where to look) on color schemes for
an Atlantic Coast Line caboose to accompany my pair of GP-9's?
Or, better yet, maybe you've seen one already made . . . what
manufacturer, when, etc.

Unless an ACL caboose has been done in brass, you are unlikely to find
anything commercially available that comes very close to anything
pictured.
Cabooses are a big challenge in N. We could use a vendor making small
run kits, possibly mixing resin bodies (ala Fine N Scale) with etched
brass (ala Gold Medal Models) ends and cupolas.
But is there a big enough market? How many folks would spend $25-35 for
a moderately difficult kit of an ACL caboose? ACL enthusiasts would, and
a handful of others with eclectic tastes would, but I'm afraid too many
folks are only be interested in painted & lettered models.

If you join the ACL/SAL historical society, you may contact someone who
has some nice photos and/or slides that will give you all the info you
need. I can also refer you to some earlier issues of "Diesel Era" in
which some of the Seaboard System's cabeese were pictured--might've been
RF&P, but one class of RF&P cabeese is nearly identical to ACL's.
