So that's what restored SMEEs look like? It was well worth the wait for them. Thanks for sharing.

The relocation of the number plates to their current position may be a reason why they didn't go with a World's Fair scheme.

I am curious about the rust. It seems like there are still rust bubbles around the windows. I am not criticizing the paint job, looks great. I am concerned about the longevity of the cars.

9017 is in its original coat of paint and is also part of the train of many colors.

Yeah… them too. Then again, there are some R33 singles with side doors that have the lower windows. I don't know how easy it'd be to switch them out, but if they could put an R22 storm door on an R26

But did all the 36WF cars have those doors with lower windows when delivered? I'd think yes.

Let me see if I have this right.

Are you saying the door panel glass used to be placed lower? As delivered? If you notice they are now placed higher, that's because over time the door leafs are different than the original ones. They were replaced. The old/original ones would have been scrapped.

The GOH R-40s and 42s actually got R-32/38 style doors except for the 40 slants which retained their oversized long style end door windows.

That's correct. Certain of the GOHed R-36s received replacement door panels like those installed on some of the mainline redbirds and some retained their original door panels.
