Re: Proto 50' boxcar roof removal

Tim O'Connor #97742 He wants to use a Viking replacement roof, although many modelers don't know, or have forgotten, that all of the early run Proto 2000 box cars (and all of their end-door box cars) have a bogus roof. Proto made the stampings of the roof panels far too wide. Tim O'Connor toggle quoted message Show quoted text Good question Jerry. In my case I used the Life Like roof and replaced the car sides. You could canibalize just about any roof you want as long as it fits. I'm sure Life Like and Branchline or even the older Athearn might be what you need. I'm not sure what prototype roof you are looking for. Good luck.Fenton
