Jim K. This is correct from here. When the cars came, it looked like it was wood inside the brass sheet, and that in all likelihood, trying to separate the brass sheet from the brass bracing would not be feasible, especially if I had to do it with one hand, which has been the case since March of last year. The project has been shelved for now. DJE

I've seen several photos, I think Dave Engle wanted to model that, regrettably it doesn't interest me... I assume everyone understands that the "real" wood on the Cryer Gray models is inside lining only. The exterior sides on the car are wood grain brass. Same concept as the flooring of the RRM 125-ton well-hole flat cars (NYC and C&O prototypes).
