I am looking at scratch building a private car that Sloss Sheffield Steel & Iron owned, "Alabama." It was rebuilt by the Southern Railway in 1903 from Pullman "Cleopatra."

What I am trying to figure out is what size boards were used for the sides? The car was T&G construction. I can't see in a picture clear enough to count the boards. The car is 63' 10" end to end, not over the buffers.

Does anyone make the windows for Palace cars?
