The third car in the 2227350 (B&O inspired paint) CSX Office Car Passenger Train is the "Thomas Rice" Theater Car. The four-pack contains a "Champion M. Davis" Generator Sound Car, the "Moonlight Dome" Dome Lounge, the "Michael J. Ward" Sleeper, and the "Thomas Rice" Theater Car. There is not much to say about the "Champion M. Davis" Generator Sound Car because it is a sealed car with no opening doors. It has a volume control and sound on/off switch.
"Thomas Rice" Theater Car: The car does not have a camera and that space is empty in the interior. I did add two seats by the windows in the front of the car.
The seats are painted tan (Flat White and Earth Brown with a touch of red) and brown table bases and white tablecloths.
I added people to the middle table seating and company executives discussing business in the Theater Seating at the rear of the car. After their meeting, the seating will open up to the guests on the train.
As always, I tried to put logical conversation or family groupings in the car. The rear Theater seating is filled with CSX Executives for their brief meeting.
I had to cut a slot down the rear Theater side wall to run the light wires to lift them out of the Theater seating area where they hung into view. (See the second and third pictures and the wires at the rear far side wall of the Theater Seating.) Hanging wires really destroyed the realism of the Theater Section.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
