SLSF Stock car roof (SLSF 47864
Greetings-
I'm working on a model of Frisco 47864 using a photo available online. I'm not sure what to do for a roof and would love some help from this group. I model 1946. I don't have SLSF roster information my search of the list archives was somewhat general and produced no answer.
Regards,

It is a radial roof, but I have no roof photo. Sunshine did a model.

The sunshine sheet says it's a Sampson radial roof, if anyone knows more. That's a new manufacturer to me.Actually, it says it's a Samson roof.
Samson Steel Underframe Co was incorporated in 1907 and discontinued in 1916. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that these roofs could be 'related'.
Samson made a patented steel underframe that was applied to AT&SF and NYDX cars; others are possible, but I have no further data.

There is also a discussion of these on the Frisco.org site, http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/frisco-stock-cars.2971/
Charlie Duckworth had a great looking model of this car, Sunshine model. Maybe he can share photos with you. I assume he also has the Sunshine instructions and promo sheets.
Hundman’s Stock Car Cyclopedia has a section on Frisco stock cars but nothing additional to what you already have on this series.
