[CBQ] Re: SM-19 Stock Car

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

Doug, Rich

I did this a couple of years ago. I did not change the roof, if wrong  
I'll live with it. It was  a job to cut off the cast on panels. There  
is also a wide board on the side that should be trimmed down, which I  
didn't do. When done it looks good if not totally correct.

Mainline Modeler ran plans of a CB&Q SM-18 stock car than had two  
articles on scratchbuilding one. First article was in the Sep 91  
isssue. Then there was a four part article from Oct 91 thru May 92  
issues.
