Good Morning @Pingman,  Here are the part numbers for the roof vents I have used in my builds.

The plastic Budd style roof vent from K-Line part K4600-06-01 is no longer available from Brasseur Trains.  But you can try Budd style roof vent from ScaleCityDesign part 48-326.   They made that style vent in white metal.  I think the dimension posted for the vent on their website are incorrect. https://scalecitydesigns.com/s...&section=product

Different style roof vents

First, great build of the interior - I especially like the passenger figures with characters of their own. I've done a bit of this as you know but I can see that in a sleeping car there's room for, er, mischief - of the not so innocent variety where your beard shaving guy is concerned.

Come to think of it, I know you have a complete photo record of all of these cars but are you making any sort of digital or hard copy album out of them? I have with a couple of my builds.

Anyway, what I wanted to point out was that you officially qualify not only as a master craftsman but as a treasure hunter. I have never seen a variety of roof vents like you tracked down. In particular, one (top middle) appears to have an open mesh grille. I have generally gone with the Scale City Design offerings because they are old Keil Line products and I am used to working with them.

Well done again. Any preview of what's next?
