It’s JUST the slope part, no studs at all.

So I guess it’s like:
chopped in to 4 pieces, with a 45-degree-ish slope rather than the curve?

Yes, a lot like that except without nearly as much vertical part, IIRC the
entire part is only 2 plates high. I think. I was so excited about the overall
set that I didn’t put enough peering into that specific part.
If you like, think of taking a 1x2 roof peak and cutting it in half. I just
can’t remember if the slope is the same, or different or how flush the slope is.

I took this piece off of the BSNF (there are actually 10 of them, two orange
on the top of the cab, four orange and four green on the nose - see this
picture -
http://www.iltco.org/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album16&id=IMG_0095).
I believe the parts is only two plates high so it woul dnot be the same
angle as the standard 45 degree slope.
