Sorry group - that was meant just for Dave Lotz! However if any of you
communciate with Bob (1 of our 6 charter mbrs), encourage him to again offer
the CB&Q China Clinic; it's first-rate!
Per Ray's question about a 40' box car having a 6' door changed to a 9', I
directly emailed him to check OER's from late 60's/early 70's. Official
Equipment Registers, with their specs and footnotes are a great source of
modeling detail including door openings and other special features.
