Re: Question re: upcoming Rapido USRA DS box

Bill,
Your statement about having to widen the model's roof to accept a fascia implies, to me, that that had to have been true for the prototype. If so, it would seem to mean that the fascias were ONLY applied when new (wider) roofs were, also.
Or. One could ask: "Whatever would prompt someone to add a strip of wood at the top of a box car side?"

I am not very knowledgeable about the variations on these cars. I do think that for the price, Rapido should do the "easy-peasy" mods. The fascia strip appears to be such a thing.To apply the facia, the roof needs to be widened to lap over it. Not sure how easy that will be w/the Rapido model. Easy to do w/the Westerfield kit.
