With the holidays approaching, I have been working on building passenger cars
for my 6-wide PRR T1 to pull around the Christmas tree. I was limited to the
remaining parts from the 10183 Hobby Set after building the high-nose diesel
(which is also why there are not trucks for my cars at the moment). In
addition, I also used the blue doors/windows available from S@H, and some misc.
parts from Corner Cafe.
I thought the dome car module I developed was interesting. I had not seen a
similar dome structure on brickshelf or the forums, so I thought I’d share some
pics.
The dome roof is cantilevered on one end, and then held by friction on the other
lug end. I tried a few other methods to fix that free end, but they did not
line-up correctly.
I plan to eventually build heavyweight cars for my T1 in the dark red, as most
PRR passenger cars were that color at the time. I really like the style of
Benn Coifman’s LDD heavyweight
passenger cars and will eventually go that route.
