Ah. I was right. (Amazing?) Couldn't remember some of the stuff we used in sheet metal, when I was building real freight cars. Boxcab E50
Cover That Thing Up!! Well, I started the roof this three day, in between write up and family time. I began trying out black foam board, but that just did not seem right, so back to the drawing board...by board....by board... All roof sections are removable. I will create "tar paper" next weekend for the first section. Any suggestions? I don't like tissue, texture is not right. I have some thin construction paper?? After all the board on board I would hate to screw it up with the wrong paper!! John
I haven't scanned the drawing yet, but hope to have my scanner up again soon. I will probably post it here and in the Layout discussion as I would like comment. I already see some problems with some of the layout that will need to change to make operation smooth. John
Yeah I was thinking along those lines too, there is some really fine stuff out there. My brother-in-law just happens to be a paint and body man for Ford, SOOOOoooooo maybe I can get a deal on some John
The Roof is On Well, the wood is on. Well over 500 individual pieces in this roof...next will be the lead sheeting around the edges then tar paper. John
