Re: RGS 0404 question

Let me add my own question here - I am building this car in 2.5" scale right now. Do we have any pictures of the car when it was being resided? It would help me build the interior framework.

Anyone know if they had plans for the caboose in NGSLG? I think I recall having one with a standard D&RGW NG caboose which might help as I suppose the RGS followed similar construction techniques.

I have the quick pic book (I misplaced it to keep the dogs from eating it so I ordered a new one) and it helps show some details. I also pulled stuff from RGS Story and Silver San Juan.

I HAD thought about building it with solid walls made of plywood but that makes the car VERY heavy. And I need to run wiring through the wall to the lamps.

Thanks for any help y'all.
