I got up this morning with a flu like headache but I decided I was well enough to cut out some Milwaukee cabs. These sides are about to hit the trash because the windows are reversed. I guess I need to pay more attention, huh? Or lay off the building with a headache going on.
I hate to throw them away but away they go. I sure am glad I had not glued all those ribs on yet!

I did a similar thing on an american lightweight sf coach, put one of the sides on backwards. I doubt anyone would ever notice that the window arrangement is a mirror of what it should be but it's still disappointing. I finished the car and moved on. Atleast it wan't a combine.
Malcolm, is it possible to remove the framing and reapply it on the other side? Would that solve the problem?
Oh that's a big bummer....
PRRMAN,
Thank you! I did not even think up of that. It was right in front of me and I missed it. I retrieved them from the trash can and here is what it looked like when done right.

Good save, it looks really good. How many are you doing?
Chris,
I am building 3 Milw, 3 URR, 1 EJ&E, 1 Illinois Central and a GM&O for me. I am considering a C&EI after I saw a thread about them but I have not decided yet which one to build.

Malcolm, Brotherlove, How does one acquire one of these rib side cabeese from you?
Thanks
Dick
Didn't alot of the early C&EI's streamlined cupola's get removed in favor of the standard Mopac cupola's by the Mopac after the merger?Chris,

That first moment of terror 'what have I done' ?! Been there many, many times. Beautiful save and work.
Happy to be of service Malcolm 
After a bad start the Milwaukee cabs are taking shape.
They are looking great Malcolm....and think they almost went to the dump.
