As Bob notes, perhaps 17/64'ths - not uncommon in older items.  Might measure the width across the floor.

Those materials tend to indicate that it's probably not a kit and probably a scratchbuild that incorporates commercial bits along the way not unlike many of my own efforts.

 

Also freight motors can appear to be quite a bit larger depending on prototype vs. regular streetcars (what kind are yours?).

Intersesting! Art following life, there were cardboard sides of windows beneath the sheet wood sides; not sure if I can salvage the existing sides

Seems like Bill's got what it's supposed to represent covered!

 

Yes, if you're bound to restore and run it, then a pair of those would be the best option.

I am going to get some labelle combine sides (Ohio Northern) and do it up as Northwestern Pennsylvania Railway's No 103, a combine now still in existence as the edinboro dinor.

This will, apparently, be its third incarnation....

Thanks, Bill, but Ken Springurth is sending me one shortly. As it is, before it was the B&E combine it was an attractive and well done Jewett underneath, Neither exterior is salvageable, so I am getting some labelle combine sides and turning it into NWP 103, now the Edinboro Dinor; (but before it was the dinor)
