End rails for an Atlas NE-6 caboose?

[Hedron]

Short version: Where can I find end rails for an Atlas NE-6 caboose?

Long version: So, I ordered a new undecorated NE-6, Nickel Plate Style caboose from eBay. But it arrived without end rails. The other bits seem to be present.  I think someone very briefly tried to assemble it, but gave up quickly and didn't take care to put everything back. I just wanted to do a custom paint scheme; I was content with factory plastic details. I got a refund from the seller, but they let me keep it, so I might as well source end rails. Atlas does not have that specific spare part. I'm not ready to do my own from wire stock. Plastic or etched brass are fine. But I'm not sure how specific I need to be. The etched brass I have seen so far mention specific models that are not this one. Options?

Could these do the trick ? Caboose Handrail Set ?

Or call Atlas, sometimes they have parts available which are not listed online. Micro-Trains do sell spare parts as well, maybe they have something available which could fit ?

Out of curiosity, how does the price for the caboose you bought via eBay compare to the price from this dealer?

If you had free shipping, your link would be better. After adding in shipping for a single item, about the same. But I had a $5 eBay coupon, too, which put it over the top.

I may have some.  I bought a few NE-6s to try and convert before Atlas made the NE-5.  Give me until later tonight.

Totally forgot about this.  Just wrote a note a put and put it on my keyboard to look tomorrow.

Found them. So just the end rails?



Looks like I have black or red.

Thanks for digging those out. I need one set of rails, black preferred. I can repaint the red if necessary, whatever you want to make available.
