Chris,

This is really cool.  Nice new window use for the dome.  Are you able to put
smooth tiles on both sides of the dome at the interface with the brick sides of
the car?

The overall look of your observation car is quite nice.

later,
James Mathis

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.

(...) Too bad I don't have a better camera. The dome is surrounded by 1x2x1 thin walls. The thin walls are attached to the car and the dome rests in the hole created by the thin walls. There are thin walls at the front and back of the dome too. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

I've used this kind of glass roof on a building before, with both ends fixed. I'll try to get a picture. Eric (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
