Yep, the cupola-ectomy was easier than a bay-ectomy. It only needed one (big)
hole to fill and one roof overlay, as opposed to filling the bay gaps and
moving windows around. I did build a totally new frame, however.
Still got the cupola lying around here somewhere, waiting for a caboose to be
built under it.
