Having seen the interest here for heritage style streamlined passenger roofs I've decided to sell them separately.  They will be $14.00 each with $5.00 shipping for the first roof and $0.50 for each additional roof in an order.  If you buy 10 or more shipping will be free. 

 

These are the original American Standard roofs by Ralph Brown.  Pete Plunkett purchased the streamlined car line and renamed the lightweights.  I will be looking at pricing a kit without sides for those that want to use Union Station Products sides with the American Lightweight kits.  After harvest season is over I will be able to get several pairs of sides and see what I can do.

These are the one piece smooth roofs for Pullman Standard heritage series cars.  For the scale American Lightweight cars you have to cut some of the length off.  You can scribe them, pull nylon fishing string in the scribe thus resulting with weld lines where you want them.  I will measure them and try and get a picture or two.

 

I'm not planning to at the moment.  I would love to see Jim and everyone again.  I was planning to be at Chicago but my emergency trip to the hospital killed that plan.  I put 8 acres of vineyards on my farm and I will be helping friends process over 40 acres of grapes for their winery during Aug and Sept.  After my hospital stay this past winter I have to pace myself but getting better every day.

Here are two pictures of the 21" roof.  The end picture shows where the roof goes over the car side and the car side sits against the inner extrusion.  I glue two blocks to the center of the roof, put channels between the sides so the roof can be made removable for doing interiors, changing lights, etc.   You can also scribe the roof for weld lines.
