Shapeways Heavyweight Streamlined Roofs

[nscalbitz]

The CB&Q "Betterment" cars had modified end top edges  that had a conventional streamlined profile.  What would be nice would be a set of ends, sides (with the skirts) and a roof for Zephyr Tower (and Rocket, Missouri and Denver Tower).  The C&S / FW&D Range and Crest cars IIRC were also rebuilds and would require new sides as well.
If any 3D guy would like to tackle this I could make up 2D drawings for the cars...

Here's one shot.
Another in Burlington Bulletin #42 Exposition Flyer Special:

That Bulletin had as well a surprising number of images with Expo. Flyer presence of D&RGW 1000 series coaches, sometimes two in many runs over a decade long period (1939- 1948):

and

and making it to Aspen 4-stripe in the '50's-

(D&RGW standard gauge Coach 1004 on train 115, "The San Luis" arriving Alamosa, Colo. between 1951 and 1953) .


The near full skirts easily identify these amongst the heavyweight line-up of the Exposition Flyer.

Addition: Per earlier crossover comment about other roads etc. seems it all started with Pullman- I find it strange that such plans existed at such an early time and yet were very rarely implemented. This one I see has a follow on connection directly with D&RGW (at least according to the singular comments added to pic).
