After the interior .040 plastic sheet dried; I added another .040 sheet in the doorway to start making up the plug door. Using the Exactrail plug door as a guide I’ll dig out some Evergreen styrene that comes close to the dimensions. Filing for me is difficult to get get exact so Tamiya putty is always close at hand. Also the lower door guide on the model is wrong for the C&EI/MP car and I carved it off and will add a lower one later.
