I'm scratch building a Class XB-1 barrel car from drawings in BB#25 and
Zephyr #56, and I have a question about roof construction. The 1895 Car
Builders' Dictionary shows detailed drawings of a 34 ft. stock car,
presumably of similar construction to the original horse cars that the XB-1
barrel cars were rebuilt from, since the horse cars were built in 1890 and
rebuilt in 1907. The stock car roof was covered with 7/8 in. x 5 1/2 in.
boards running perpendicular to the center line. What waterproofing method
(if any) would have been used on a stock car or horse car roof circa 1890?
Same question for a barrel car circa 1907.

Nelson
