Over the past year and a half or so I have been picking up Metorliner odds

Metroliner.  Now that the Metroliner is available again, the parts are a
little easier to come by.

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

Baggage Car:  http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=8085
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
seats facing each other?  If so I think I might like it better that way.

The canopies come from the Naboo Fighter. The non-tapered part of the
canopy is long enough that it should work to have two seats facing with
a 2x2 table between them just looking at the parts.

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

We're going to be seeing some real long Metroliners.... I may build some
cars using 7740 instructions for some variety.
