Erie Railroad Boxcars, p1 - 14
STEP 7: The Floor, Bolsters and Under Frame 75000 – 76499 Series
This is the blank floor with the lines laid out on it. I lay these
lines out while the piece is still taped to the worktop. It’s
important to make sure everything is square; otherwise the
car(s) will not track properly.

20: I began the floor assembly using .040 thick “V”
groove siding. The siding spacing is .060 which is
very close to 6”. The floor was cut 9’-7” wide by
39’-8” long. You wonder how I came up with these
dimensions? I cheated again. I copied the sizes from
the Sunshine Models Erie kit as I had done before.
