Bill,
Thanks for all that info on the X-29. I built two from old AF shells
with the metal Ace floors. I guess I missed a few of the details <G>
I also liked your comment below about how they just slapped on the
patchs--sounds just like the Standard Railway of the World would do,
too! <G>--just a slight dig!

Throwing patch panels in the mix just complicates things greatly.
They were mostly about 12" high but that varied too -- even on the
same car. Some were riveted on and some were welded. I think they were
just slapped on the outside of the car without any significant rust
repair.
Thank You,
Bill Lane
