Not true. There were at least five or six prewar roof styles and a couple
of variations on postwar cars.
The Budd drawings are very poor on showing the full layout... to do the Kato
cars I had to cobble together the profiles using the partial information on
the Budd drawings and field measurements and photographs. Besides the
articulated trains the Q only used two phases for prewar cars and the
postwar stuff was all the same with the exception of the roof sheets
extending down further on the Slumbercoaches...
Some day I am going to start drawing them up when I get a break from paying
assignments....I hope a long time from now!
