Woops, I replied to your first note. Thanks for the correction!
Best regards, Phil Buchwald

Well, that's no good! I've already got the roof glued
on! :)
I have that RMJ issue on the kitchen table next to the
car
(very tolerant wife!). I'll have to take a close look at the
photos
tonight. The shot of the prototype car is low angle, I just don't
recall
if there are seam caps showing on it or not. (The model in the article has the standard Red Caboose/IMWX kit roof.) Are you saying that the roof is flat like the CGW 1932 cars?
Or
are they more like a rectangular panel roof, except that the
panels
are like those which are typically found on only the two end
panels
of such a roof (flat panels between seam caps)? The "1937 AAR Box Car As Built Roster" on your web site doesn't have any note on a
non-
standard roof for the CGW cars. (The same column shows those cars which had Viking roofs, for example.)
