Here are two Metroliner add-on cars that I built this week.

Observation Car:  http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8116

I imagine are more people part out Metroliners and Club Cars, we will see
more add-on cars pop up.

I like both the baggage and the observation cars you have designed and
built-  the observation car being my favorite of the 2.   What set has the
clear canopies for the dome?  Would the people still fit if you had the

Where in the line up will you place these cars?  At what point would you
think it wise to add a second motor?

I look forward to seeing the club/bar car too.
All will be an interesting addition to the display in April.

(...) Yes they will. I have one (URL) predates Mikes (I think). It is just possible to put a small table (1x2 riser, 2x3 table) in between the 2 minifigs. If they are centered, it would work better than offset (the seats). (...) That depends. "The (...) (23 years ago, 11-Nov-01, to lugnet.trains)
