Re: Monon #37 w/Archer Surface Details Update
Dean Payne
Hmm... this discussion got me to wondering if Archer Surface Details would help me scratch build a roof on a DT&I rebuild from 1936. I don't think that the half-round styrene shapes are available small enough to replicate the riblets on the Cambre radial roof shown here: http://dti.railfan.net/Equipment_Database/DTI11000sUSRA40%27dsBox/ArtDTI11500s.html I don't have any Archer sheets to look at, can you give me an idea if they would work? I bet there aren't too many Cambre roofs out there! But, I don't think you can build a convincing version of this car without that roof, and I have a soft spot for the oddball rebuilds done during the 30's. Plus, Detroit is the northern terminus of my road. Dean Payne
