Prospective buyers for new Golden Gate Depot passenger cars that care about prototype accuracy should let Scott know that re-using the roof tooling from his 12-1 heavyweight Pullman on other Pullman heavyweight variants will visibly compromise the accuracy of the model - and effect their buying decisions. One of the interesting things about heavyweight Pullmans is the variety of window configurations and AC duct location on the roofs. It's a form follows function thing - the AC roof ducts change in length and location relative to the room/aisle arrangement in the car below. Some modelers might not care - but a growing percentage of today's 3RS and 2 rail modelers do want the major details (especially the roof profile, window pattern, and walls) to sync with one another.
