I agree. Wish I had cornered the market then. Anyhow, I shall be meeting with a friend with a fantastic machine shop about milling in some extra windows into my second diner. So, I guess it is still bugging me--so close, yet so far!
Larry,
I had the same thought a while back. I believe that if you look at the window arrangements, you might be better off using a chair car shell rather than a diner (you could change the car number to be correct for a lounge car, and also change the interior from an existing lounge car). The chair car window arrangement appears to be closer to that of the lounge car (the diner is a bit different).
My thought was to use an extra chair car and have the extra windows cut out above the existing windows in order to simulate the lounge car window arrangement. I was thinking of contacting O.K. Engines about this since it is my understanding that they cut custom window arrangements on Budd aluminum shells.
