Subject: [STMFC] Re: Proto 50' boxcar roof removal





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.

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
