Getting farther off the subject, I did a neat exchange a few months ago. I bought two IM Santa Fe reefers at different times, came to realize the roof (platforming around the hatches, specifically) was wrong on each one - but was right for the other car! Took me about ten minutes to get the complete roof off of each car, swap them and re-glue. Thank you, Richard, for the descriptions and illustrations that were precise enough for me to grasp this difference.

Ron, can you tell us which classes were involved? Some of the rest of us may need to do something similar.
