Thank you all! As far as the cut? Before I did that I measured it about 4 times, marked and then used masking tape to mark the cut line.After I mustered up the courage to cut it I used my old method of using the razor saw without a handle. I hold the saw blade in my hand.  As I began to saw I may very light cuts at the edges and corners. As they become deeper I connect the cuts as I progress (Slowly). I also stop every three or 4 strokes and run the saw across a bar of Ivory soap. You will be surprised how much easier it is to cut smoothly with the soap on the blade. It took me about 20-25 minutes to make the cut on the Zephyr car. The method seems to work well for me.

Thanks again, Malcolm

Soap and WD-40 work on table saws and jig saws  too.  Cools and lubricates.   Continuous or frequent application depending on product.

Great for slicing up 4' X 8' sheets of clear plastic.

We use a special tooth shape for super clean cutting of laminate flooring.  Love to try cutting someone else's plastic car with it.

I finally got up enough nerve to install the drumhead. Grab irons, jump seats and corrugated trim under the deck today too. Got 6 cabooses painted earlier today and cut out another passenger car for someone who asked me to about a year ago. I told my wife, "no more heart attacks", we ain't got time. She assured me she wanted to comply!!!
