I decided to use all the roof vents, even considering this is a baggage car. Logically, I would think that a baggage car would not need as many roof vents as a coach or observation car. The main reason I left them is because I didn't feel like filling that many holes.
I think MDC used the same roof piece for all cars in this product line, and that is why there are so many vents. There are two smaller vent holes that I think correspond to restroom vents, or possibly vents for heating. Considering that I doubt a baggage car would have a restroom, I decided to blank those out. I simply cemented the detail part in place, then cut it off flush and applied putty over the area and sanded flat.
