Wow, Jim and Geoff, when I posted I hadn't been expecting to get such great feedback; I just thought the thread of great value by itself!  Thanks so much for sharing and the helpful tips.

The HOn3 kits don't include plans. I have copies of the original B&S plans stored at DPL's archives, plus plans of other B&S cars (I've been very into the Nevada Central's B&S cars for a long time). I don't think I have Stearns' plans in my files.

I had planned to keep the doors closed which solves a few issues, like weight placement.

I need to look at the end steps to see how close to prototype they are. Even on the prototype these were not Spiderman-friendly!

Paul Scoles and I used to talk about why no one ever modeled early RGS, it had great equipment and great operations. Nice to see someone doing it.
