Bob, you are reading too much into what I said! True, I despise the Intermountain roof, since the same toolmaker who tooled the very good IMWX, later Red Caboose, roof also did the Intermountain roof

Andy, Implied is your recommendation to substitute the IMWX/Red Caboose rectangular panel roof for the InterMountain one, but is the IMWX roof also too wide for the Branchline car body? Are these

I ordered the three bodies with parts this past Tuesday Dec. 6 and they arrived Dec. 10. Cost was $12.50 plus 7.05 for shipping. They were exactly as listed on Ebay, who is now sold out, at least for

I just checked Southwest Scale Production but he only has 5 and 7 panel doors. I suggest checking Kadee's parts. Of the door types, Superiors are the easiest to scratch build with Evergreen strips for

Does anyone make a 7' wide 6 panel superior door for a 10'6" box car? I'm trying to replicate from a photo a door on a ex-NH 40' PS-1 that was refurbashed by USRy Leasing and acquired by
