doctorwayne's 2013 Get Off Your Duff Challenge - Part 2

..... I see your new roof are quite steep. Was is common for this era?

You're right, Matt: they do look rather steep. The measurements were base on another car - wonder if I misread the ruler? It's not a big job to alter those ends, but right now I'm battling with Kadee #15 couplers, basically a #4 with a longer and narrower draught gear box. It seems that somewhere along the line, they decided to make the draught gear boxes from engineering plastic, and there's no way provided to hold them together. I did figure out a solution last night, and will, fortunately, use-up my remaining stock of them on these cars.
