Hi Ben and List Members,
Thanks Ben for the MDC advert.
MDC made a 36ft stock car in both HO and N scales.
However, altho they were similar, they were not identical models. The outside
sheathing on the upper part of the car sides differed between the HO an N scale
models - on the N scale model, looking from top to bottom, there is a group of
several boards that form continuous sheathing, then a gap, and then a single
outside sheathing board. On the HO model, this last outside sheathing board is
not present. After that, on both HO and N, the lower part of the car side is
sheathed only on the interior.
I have been searching for a good match for the N
scale model, the closest I have come is a CGW prototype as can be seen in the
comparison image linked below (hopefully the mile-long link
works!):
If anyone has any thoughts on a better prototype
match, I'd be very glad to hear about it.
Claus Schlund
