I have several plans of the class 8 30 foot boxcars. The only detailed set I have showing interior and (side wall/roof) frame is labeled for the original 1903 version. When these cars were rebuilt in the 20's, I know they had Murphy roofs added, but were there any major dimensional changes to lumber?
