Basic Modeling Notes
In order to represent GN cars the model requires a number of modifications;
namely the cupola must be raised (use .30 x .80 styrene strip), add Plano roof
walks (use the 35' PS type), reconfigure the ends on the model to match the GN,
add end ladders, tool box and tube with styrene. In my opinion this model is
very nice and cost effective. All of the changes are described in the May 1999
Model Railroader article.
