Bud, That's what I had started back a few years ago--leaving out the
center portion. Problem is I'm not certain exactly what state I had
left the rest of the project. I do like the prepainted sides, I do hope
they are half-way accurate.

Bob, If you ever build the Mainline stock cars, check the roof to see
if a square piece of wood to gap the two roof sides is included. If
there is, the car will build up way too wide. I think these kits were
originally designed for On3 perhaps. One caveat, leaving that square
piece out and just gluing the two tapered roof sections together
yields a proper width S scale roof. This also means reducing the
floor, ends, and cast ends sills to an S scale width.
