Can OK make a Sun Lounge car without the fluted roof?

Best thing is to email him:

OKENGINES@AOL.com

I think all his material has fluted roofs, but I could be wrong (I wonder if the roof could be covered with JB Weld to hide the fluting?).

Mike,

I'm thinking of getting Ted to make me a Sun-Lounge car.

Have you done the interior yet and what do you think of the car overall?

What trucks do you have under it?

Happy New Year

Some progress since last posting. Rusted rails, some places both sides, took 9.5 bottles of Floquil rust just for Fair interlocking. Applied ballast (roofing stones). Brownish for mainline, black for secondary. Track # 4 in Fair interlocking has been reballasted by section crew with new ballast. I have had 4 boxes of grey ballast, boxes are by volumne and price written on it is 0.29 cents. Probably Trenton Hobby Center on State street near Stockton in 50's.

They may not be obvious, but if you look closely you can see many PRR minature signals in place.

Do not plan on more tracklaying now, but will glue ballast and GROAN begin wiring, both for power and Custom Signals. Shouldn't take more than several months.

I noticed the Pennsy signals right away!

I think it is great. Despite wrong roof, I can live with that.  A suggestion to fill corrugations on another blog great idea, but I am not first.

Re trucks, they are GGD from an old run.  GGD may have some left over from Broadway or Congo etc which may work. 

Interior done a while back & with GGD leds above looks good.

Thanks Mike!

Looking at the car I might be able to file/dremel off the roof ribs, leaving a smooth roof, or maybe a combination of dremeling and JB Weld to make it smooth.

If you do it, let me know how and are you happy with result.

Will do Mike, I just sent Ted an email asking for a price on just the car body and window glazing.

To those helping me on computer search on electrical forum, page 5 & 6 show a lot of trackage and 3 complete PRR interlockings Morris, Fair (8 track) and Midway.
