"I don't recall discussion on this list about the prototype fidelity regarding the roofs of these Atlas models. I think this C&O car has the Climax Radial roof." http://www.atlasrr.com/Images/HOFreightCars/ho1932boxcar/0610/20000918_TQ.jpg I replied: "Correct; C&O 7000-7649." David Thompson replied: "Cambre radial roof." What source are you quoting from? My Climax Radial Roof call came from Ed Hawkins' spreadsheet linked in my previous post. To muddy the waters further, Ted Culotta identifies the roof for these cars as Hutchins radial roofs. Anyone have any C&O documentation conclusively proving what roof these cars had?
