Hey Reg:
In addition to that article which if I recall correctly was one of a
centerbeam car with the oval openings in the wall, the late Ernie Horr did
an article on scratchbuilding a centerbeam car that used mostly posts. I
building a couple of those and hope to have one done for the NASG
convention.
The RMC article I referred to was about the conversion by CN of standard
bulkhead flats to centerbeams by adding the upsidedown T shape. I have some
centerbeam cars and I would like to attempt the CN conversion.
Then try scratchbuilding the car you referred to.
cheers
