Hey Ed,
I can give you some ideas, but I can't say I've tried any of these yet.
There was an article in MR a few years back where a guy scratch built an L&N
Pullman in O scale. Fabulous work, but the article was a bit vague about how
he built the roof. I wanted more information on placement of the carlines.
(The things shape the roof.) I fear that styrene of sufficient thickness would
be difficult to bend. Someone suggested strapping styrene to a piece of wood
roof stock and heating it in the oven to overcome that issue. Layers of thin
plastic may also be an option. Good luck.
