His version was the correct length, but didn't have the right number of ribs and panels. Mine is too long, but the panel count is right. Since the Reading car has lettering in every panel, I think the number of panels is more critical. You might agree with John that you want the length correct. If you cut each panel/rib apart and narrow them, you could have both correct - no way I plan to do that, maybe if I had a milling machine. Pieter E.
