Rusty & Pieter,
It was never my intention to make the roofs or anything else as the last word in rivet counting for Reading cars. I was told by another friend that if I changed the roof on the SHS/AM CNJ Coach it would be a really close Reading Coach. Good enough for me... Thought 1 The PRSL was significantly more mixed in Reading and PRR, and in some cases PRSL equipment than my previously deluded Slobbering Pennsy Freak self would allow me to believe. I wanted some "good enough" cars to put more "R" in my PRSL. Thought 2 I had absolutely no interest in forming wood roof stock to look "Reading" for one car let alone a dozen of them. Since I bought about 6 in progress Reading passenger cars from John Hall, he came to my rescue and made the master roof pattern. I spent about 2 months painting and wet sanding it until it looked like smooth plastic and had them cast. Those that wanted the roofs have them now. It is another S Scale Git Er Dun success story. Some things CAN be easy. Rusty, you could have asked me **before** you went all Dremel Chop Suey on your car and roof. I would have sent you the photos I had. I would definitely be interested in some of those trucks if you made them. I am 1 visit away with a car 20 minutes from here to get started on making the roof vents for this roof. I just need to get permission to climb on it and start measuring.
