Jackson and Sharpe Passenger Cars - Coach and Observation Differences?

[jviss]

Hello again, Bachmeisters,

I wonder what's the difference between the coach and the observation car.  Is it just the rear rail and drum head?  Does every road's observation car have a drum head?

Thanks,

Hi,

On the Bachmann J & S Passenger cars, the only difference is the rear railing and the drumhead. In the real world observation cars had many different configurations(club car, lounge, etc) and many did not have a drumhead.

Thanks for the reply, Bill.  That's what I thought.  I will go with an observation car without a drum head; I just ordered enough black metal rails for my 3 car consist, two coach rail sets and one observation.
