The roof is the original NP-designed curved, metal sheathed wood roof which the NP called a "circular" roof and applied to all of its house cars from the teens through the early 1930s.

Richard or anyone else,
I have a couple more questions about this car. The 1950 ORER has a number series 30000-30988. This would include the 30600 series so apparently two or more groups of same or similar cars were grouped together. The Landmesser 1948-50 hot box list has NP XMs 30387, 30477, 30589 and 30796. The inside length is 50'-3". NP 30796 was carrying wood pulp on July 3, 1948. Wasn't wood pulp hauled in a wet state? Wouldn't that signal that the car was near the end of its useful life? I need a model on my railroad. Is there a good candidate in HO?

Gene: I'd venture your best bet might be to take a cue from the
prototype, and get there from here: http://speedwitch.com/Models/k103.htm Best, Chris Frissell Polson, MT --- In STMFC@..., "Gene Green" <bierglaeser@...> wrote: ...

Richard or anyone else,Gene, my post on this subject contained a typo which is the source of your confusion. The original number series of the 1923 1-1/2 door cars was 6000-6999, so there were a thousand cars in the series. When rebuilt with single doors in the 1930s, they were renumbered 30000-30988, and in 1/45 970 of those cars were still active. Richard Hendrickson |

While we are chasing this around, I should point out that the Speedwitch model is of the 5000 - 5999 series cars with the offset doors that were not rebuilt as single door cars, so it would be more challenging to start with the existing Speedwitch model because you would have to create the boards and diagonal frame member in the panel to the left of the door.
