This began as Lionel's Union Pacific 19121 smooth side dome car. With the help of some Plastruct, it is now D&RGW's California dome lounge, used for special occasions and the Ski train.

Plastruct makes several sizes of corrugated siding. I used "N" gauge for the roof fluting and "O" gauge for the side fluting. Both applied with epoxy. The roof sections were then wrapped tightly with thick rubber bands every 1/2" or so until the epoxy had set. I used clothes pins to do the same for the sides. Small pieces of Plastruct were used to blank out window areas per photos of the car, also held in place with epoxy. I made some decals of screening and applied them over small pieces of Plastruct and glued to the roof to simulate the air vents along the sides.
