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.

I really must do some Ldrawing of the dome car I built ~8 years ago, as it
uses the Star Wars style of canopy back to back to produce a quite elegent
dome.

You might be referring to the style of observation car shown here in one of Mike
Walsh’s designs:
This is from his Carolina Train Builders website,
http://www.carolinatrainbuilders.com/models/ctb%2D1116/
I like this style of dome and have “borrowed” it on one of my railcars. Alas,
the dome is only 4-wide and not the full width of the train car (but there are
other ways to build a 6-wide Vista Dome).
