Darrell/Ed I read with much interest your respective posts on getting the roof of smoothside passenger cars just right. I have the same problem try to make PS cars which the B&O ordered at the end of WWII. I think that is why the AM smoothside scale cars (coaches at least) are not up to spec height-wise. What a great suggestion Darrell regarding making a plaster mold and then using auto body filler.! Any ideas on where to find/make the fine details on the roof at the final stage e.g. vents, ladder handles etc. some of which the AM cars do have. To Darrell's point about knowing the curvature of the prototype for modeling, I do have a very helpful reference in the name of the B&O RR Historical Society which I plan to obtain published roof contour drawings. I wonder how standard PS roof contours were for the lightweight coaches which they built for so many RRs in the 50s? Don't know. Best Regards, Jack Riely PS..........WHAT A GROUP!
