I am about to build eleven of the NE-12 way cars. I’m only building 3 in the first batch so I can iron out some construction methods. The last one I built had a straight sided cupola and although it looked OK it was not prototypical. The sides of the NE12 cupola is slightly sloped so I want to replicate that in this batch. Just building 3 will allow me to make some jigs and clamps during construction that help with the next eight. I may wish that I had continued with the straight sided cupola!

Malcolm, I'm a member of the BRHS and a detail modeler of the CB&Q, I admire you for the work you do. Although I have built many Q models over the years, most in HO, and now some in O, I'm not close to the skill and PATIENCE you have in scratch building this series of waycars. 

I know you must get  a lot of enjoyment in scratch building, it's one of the benefits of our hobby.

Don't know if you are a member of the BRHS, but it sure would be nice to have an article in our Zephyr magazine on how you built it. Any change I can get you to do one?

And if you have a spare waycar for sale, please keep me in mind.

Ray
