40’ Murphy Solid Steel (Flat
Panel) Roof
Standard Railway Equipment
Manufacturing Company introduced a new style of all steel roof in the late
1920’s, called the Murphy Solid Steel Roof. The design, with improvements over the years, was by far the
most common roof style from the 1930’s on. The early version that this model represents was generally
superceded in the early 1930’s by the Improved Solid Steel Roof, often refered
to as a rectangular panel roof.
However, at least a couple roads continued to install this so-called
flat panel roof until 1940. SRCC
offers a kit for the following road that purchased cars with this roof: CN. This item is a
polyurethane casting and is suitable as a direct replacement for a PRS styrene
roof.
