@Pingman posted:@T.Albers, in an earlier post you mentioned trying to purchase the center section from a large hobby store. Were they willing to sell you an entire dome assembly? Or only a brass dome car kit?
Funny you should mention that @Pingman. I was surprised to find that hobby store only had in stock "ACF Dome Ends" part number OSA813 for $10.00 each. They don’t carry the brass center dome sheet that matches these parts. They said that center dome section is only available with the brass car kit. I don't know who they are planning on selling all their packages of OSA813 ACF Dome Ends too if they don't have the center dome sections to make a full dome structure. I didn't push the hobby store over the phone to see if he could get his manufacture to make just the brass center section by special order.
For what its worth, their brass ACF Dome Ends are made to fit O-scale passenger cars that are 2.5" wide.
