Hi Bill; Earl is getting one because Boston & Maine bought some cars from the Reading.
There are other potential uses for models with this roof, although most would be "stand-in" rather than an exact duplicate. I suspect fitting this roof to the AM baggage or RPO car would be close to some PRR prototypes. Vic Roseman had an excellent series of articles in RMC and the old Railmodel Journal on converting the AM heavyweight cars into Harriman style passenger cars and various MU cars (Reading, PRR, Illinois Central as I recall). He built new roofs from balsa wood, but these resin roofs would work, although not quite tall enough for real Harriman cars.
