The observation car uses 1/4-circle curved-top "Paradisia" trans-clear window
wall "corners".  (wheh! you'll know what I mean when you see them.)  I used
four of these elements on their sides and in oposite directions to make the
observation window covering.

Personally, I think this observation car looks a little dispropotionate, but I
like the effect of the "bubble dome", so I think I'll keep it.

To James Mathis,

After buying some train stickers on Ebay, with Panoramawagen included . I have
wanted to build a 7740 Dome car of my own . So I went to have a look at your
7740 Dome car on Brickshelf, for inspiration. But I can't view the pictures of
your 7740 dome car.I've searched the web looking for pictures of the real thing.
Typing in on search sites , DB 103 & Rhinegold Express. I have only found a
version in tan & blue. Do you have some good pictures of this carrage in red &
yellow (tan/yellow).Or could you direct me to your Lego version.

I'm also collecting parts to build your English APT .But hope to make your red
line in orange. I have also built a version of your Yellow Dutch engine with
inverse mounted windows, but in red. From spare parts, after building a Santa fe
B unit.

Thanks for the great ideas & inspiration !

Teunis.
