RE: The wood freight car and passenger car roof issue: I believe there is a gentleman in Wisconsin, Ken Borst, who has done up some wood roofs for both freight and passenger equipment. That was a year or two ago, and I don't think he experienced a rush of orders. He would be happy to sell some of his recently created stock, I would think. I cannot recall exactly where he lives, but one could probably find him by referring to www.whitepages.com Tom

So my question to you is what would it take for your woodworker associate to produce similar pieces in S scale? I have samples that he could use, if that's what you're looking for. I would recommend that he produce the express reefer arched roof and the clerestory roof, and a streamlined roof section like the ones that JC Models used. Those would be popular in S-scale. Since Northeastern quit making them, there's a real void in our scale when it comes to passenger car roof materials.
