If the car is going to be kitbashed, the 65' car would be easier to approximate than the 52' car. I believe then that the side height would be close enough not to worry about, and the bottom sill is straight. The number of panels (either 18 or 20) probably will be off though.

Wouldn't that make it pretty close to the old LBF gon then? Going by memory as to what those looked like, but to me kitbashing something that's not going to be reasonably accurate when there's a model out there that's as accurate as I could make my kitbash sort of defeats the purpose...

The LBF car (corrugated side) actually has a prototype (!) - I believe it's a Greenville car - and it closely matches MP cars that also made it to other roads including CR and NS.

It would definitely be different looking than the a bash of the ER car.

No need to bash the E-R car then. Just have to track down one of the LBF cars.
