Question:
Last August when I was at the Friends work session I witnessed the removal of the steel roof from the second Box/Coach that is being rebuilt. I took photos and made drawings and took measurements of all the parts of the roof, I thought, but now it appears that I missed a few key measurements. I am trying to put together an assembly drawing of the roof to help in putting the roof back on next summer but need some measurements that I missed. I can approximate them but would like to get them more accurately. Does anyone have drawings (engineering) of the roof that would help, particularly in determining the distance between panels which is governed by the overlap of the lock seems.
thanks,
Frank
