Reply to "John Rowlen's Detailed Passenger Cars with Preiser 65602 Unpainted Seated People - A growing Collection"

It's Bedtime!  No seriously.  But before I go, I will list pictures of the two Amtrak III Sleeping Cars.  Like the coaches, these cars have tan seats.  The original plastic interior of the Amtrak III Sleeping Car is beige, so I painted the floor two coats of red paint to match the rest of the red plastic interiors.  I do not paint vertical walls because the bright LED lights cause the brush strokes to be seen through the translucent walls.

The individual Sleeping Chairs do not line up so that a person seated back into the chair will show through the window. I have to bring them forward on the front edge of the chair to be seen.  The stateroom sofa passengers can be seen easily, but the stateroom chairs are hidden from view.

This style interior has been used by Lionel since the C&O seven car set was introduced as one of the early 21" passenger cars.  Again, I make logical family groups with the babies in the staterooms when possible.

Sweet Dreams.
