I have only seen photos for four D&S cabooses, X-83, X-84, X-85,
and X-86. East Coast Railroads has models for sale of some of them here:
http://eastcoastrailroads.com/caboose/DS.html
More details are here: http://eastcoastrailroads.com/D&S%20Caboose.pdf
X-83 had a windmill on top to generate electricity.
X-84 had a windmill on top to generate electricity.
X-85 was an ex-SAL caboose. <-- can be model with AMB #854 kit

X-86 currently sits at Durham's Museum of Life and Science.
2 flatcars, #101 and a second unnumbered flatcar used with an unnumbered
derrick. You can see both flatcars on the left in a photo called "DSDUNNSHOP1973.JPG"
on Warren Calloway's photo CD of the D&S.
In 1970, the D&S obtained 50 77 Ton triple hoppers lettered Durham
& Southern (#6000-6049) for carrying sand out of Erwin, NC. After
the merger, the hoppers were returned to the lenders.
The NMRA MER Carolina Piedmont Division 13 recently had some HO scale
D&S Hoppers made in Oct. 2005. They are now all sold out. There were
6 different numbers.

the Durham & Southern GP38-2 engines.

Photo
of the 1140 4-8-0 from the Durham Co. Library Archives
Compare that to the HO
scale brass Precision Scale model of the N&W 1157 - I think they
are very close!
From Dan Fisher: "...according to N&W: Giant of Steam by Colonel
Lewis Jeffries, N&W locomotive 1140 (Class M2 4-8-0) was sold to the
Durham and Southern in May 1939.
So the choice of an N&W M2c 4-8-0 (which I am pretty sure is the only
M2x brass locomotive ever produced) is almost correct for the D&S
locomotive. The primary difference is the valve gear. The M2 class had
Walschaert valve gear; the M2c class had Baker valve gear."
