Hi Bud- I have 2 Regal kits & I plan to build one as an Erie car. I found a diagram that shows the exterior width to be 8' 6 1/8" and the interior width looks to be 7' 9". I could build the other as an NYC gon. What is the width for the NYC mill gon? http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/el/frt/erie-frt-3-10.gif Thanks. Stan

I built mine as the NYC car. I didn't use enough sanding sealer on it and didn't apply the decals on a glossy surface so it was crude. One glaring error in the car's construction which I didn't realize at the time was that it is too wide. The long gons....65 footers anyways were quite a bit narrower than their 52' brethren to enable negotiating tight curves in the steel mill confines. You might want to consider this if you decide to build it. I have the Newton Gregg Car buildr's edition on gons if you need interior widths, I'll look it up.
