Re: Modeling Those WLE SS cars w/7-ft doors
If anyone ever makes the PM style of these ends, I'm in for at least a dozen sets, since the PM had a thousand cars equipped with them, in the 85000-85999 series. Built as auto cars, they were

Re: Modeling Those WLE SS cars w/7-ft doors
Rob and Dennis,
No need to use typical dimensions. Here are the dimensions for the W&LE 27000-series cars from the ORER:
IL--40' 3"
IW--8' 6"
IH--9' 1"

Re: Modeling Those WLE SS cars w/7-ft doors
Thanks for your comments here Dennis. No worries – it was more a proof of concept/proportions anyway. Easily re-drawn if dimensions of the end are available to make it worthwhile.

Tried playing around in Sketchup with various corrugation shapes this afternoon. I think this is fairly close. 9” spacing as suggested by Dennis. 4.5” depth of corrugations (just a guess).

Maybe the end Speedwitch created for their L&M kitbash would be a better choice. I have not seen them close up.

Re: Modeling Those WLE SS cars w/7-ft doors
So . . . are there two different ends on these cars – one with 5 wider corrugations per panel; the other with 6? The new lead stark brick photo seems to show that, unless it’s an illusion.

Re: Modeling Those WLE SS cars w/7-ft doors
The DA ends are a natural thought but the ribs are not spaced the same. You have to invert the casting then scrape off details. Scratch building would be an easier path.
