Repainted and modified 85' full-dome

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I acquired a Bachmann 85' full-dome as a birthday present. It was originally ATSF, but I repainted it into the Red Oxide with black roof livery of my fantasy railroad. I also modified the interior to be a bit better:


The lower insert has been modified. I painted the floor red and the upholstery turquoise, added divider windows to the lounge, and I expanded the floor on either side to add the nurse's room and the bar (the liquor cabinet is a Paul Friedlund picture).



I cut notches in the floor of the upper interior insert to make room for installing homemade staircases, painted the floor and upholstery, fashioned walls for the lower-level equipment rooms and covered the floor gaps above said rooms, built a dumbwaiter and the upper-level service counter


And here's the car all together

Well done.

Thank you.

Very nice craftsmanship... Just out of thought why the nurse's station

Because that's what was behind that separate lower-level window on the ATSF domes the model is based on: an office for a courier-nurse
