Even though I said that I wouldn't be doing any coach work for a while, I
built an observation car. It is almost done, but I decided to put up three
preliminary pictures anyway. I need to buy some doors, some windows, and a few
chairs to finish it off. My observation dome is for 8-widers only, and I think
the dome came out nice. I am pretty happy with the design. I used the 4561
windows on this model even though I really like the sideways windows everyone
has been using.
