Hello Ed, I made a jig to hold the C&BT roof for a lengthwise cut with a razor saw, then used an NWSL True Sander to sand half the excess width from each roof section. After cementing the roof back

Yes I am still thinking about it but what car can we out it on. Hubert Mask.

Steve, which ones? The composite double sheathed cars, or the all-steelcars? I really like these cars and Hubert Mask once said he was thinking aboutmaking decals for them. I can't recall ever seeing

Yes, I recall that now. Any suggestions on how to correct it? Ed Mines
