Complete roof frame for #40
The holes in the end are for ventilation...not for the model, but on real cars. I don't know if this baggage car had such a feature (it wouldn't have been as necessary), but I've added it so that I'll have it for the combines and coaches that'll use this roof.
I'll remove the two cross braces once the sheathing is in place.

Roof, #40, step 4
Here are the end profile pieces, shaped:
Here they are laid out for orientation:
And here's the clerestory with its carlines installed.
It is currently 33'4" long. The additional 8" of body length and 4'2" of overhangs will come from the end profile pieces.
Next, I'll be attaching the rafters...and it will start to look pretty. I'd really love to use as many carlines as the prototype, but that is wayyyy too much work.
