I have not looked on the Bachmann American On30 site but this little gem is on the Chinese site. Wondering with the Sandy River dabble in largescale if this item may follow.
there was a rumbling about that very thing on Dans site around Halloween…lemmie see if I can find it:

. . . GHOST TRAINDo you find yourself hearing whispers of trains no one has ever really seen? Do you hear the clicking and clacking of 1:20 wheels on code 250 rail in the middle of the night?
Well gentle readers, so do we.
Mysterious side door cabooses, eerily like a scaled-up Bachmann On30 offering, roll by at the end of trains pulled by outside slant cylinder K-27’s with updated tender trucks, wiring and gears!
Fires flare in the bellies of steam driven log loaders straining to swing heavy loads over the high sides of gondolas.
And yet, when the dawn breaks, and the fog lifts, who knows what is real. Even if the recent iHobby show came and went silently, like a phantom in the night, a few ghosts are whispering.

I added emphasis!
Micro Mark lists them on On 30.

If anybody can get me one of these combines in yellow - a bit like the ‘Roaring Camp’ caboose - I would be very happy to pay costs and shipping…as well as providing details of a cheaper method of shipping, too.

Terry- like this?
Cale - That be’s the one!! Me and ig have a small but colourful collection of cabeese/vans of interest, and plans to build a small end-to-end shuttle layout on the window ledge in front of where we are sitting right now on 0n3. Being permanently short of space in our twig here in yUK means that it would have to be pretty unobtrusive to avoid being noticed by SWMBO, but I’m sure that with the right background colours that could be done… A small depot, water tower and a siding at one end, and a vanishing line into the distant tunnel entrance should sort it out. Like many before me, I’m just fascinated watching a little Shay tootling by [got six of 'em, us]. As for the new Bachmann offering, well, Dwight Ennis and a couple of the boys on another forum were kind enough to take a wadge of photos of the van at Roaring Camp in NorCal for me a couple of years back, and I’m interested to make this little item from Bachmann look a lot more like it.

I like the title ‘comboose’ - a ‘combine’ conjures up images of vast prairies of wheat fields under endless skies…must be in the blood, that imaginary scene, my family over in Canada were farmers in SK before they moved to ONT in the late '40’s…
We went back to Wowota a couple of years ago whilst driving across Canada and picked up a handy ‘souvenir’ rock from beside the road to give my cousin as a memento of the family origins.
She uses it to hold open the porch door now.

Terry,
I’m planning on placing an order with Micro-Mark shortly. I can order the caboose for you at the same time if you wish providing they have it in stock. Let me know ol’ feller.
Well, thank’ee kindly, young fella. You’m powerful kind to your ol’unc.
Right now I’m getting ready to sell of a few locos and cars to a noob, whose wonderfully understanding wife has not only just presented him with a fine little girl, but allowed him to celebrate the event by getting into the large-scale arena!!
What a woman!
Best to you and herself from
