Weaver #1204 N&W Lightweight Passenger 5-Car Set???

I bought this set back in 2014, the only thing I've done to it was to add Kadee couplers and more to scale trucks (to all but the Dome car).

Now I'm in the mood to add interiors, but not sure where to start.  I'd like to think these are scale cars that N&W actually had, but I believe I'd be dreaming.  I searched for floor diagram of N&W cars but found nothing that would help.

The set came with (1) Baggage car, (2) identical coaches, (1) Dome car, and (1) Observation car.

These cars/set were discussed some time ago, but I couldn't find anything when I searched.

Anybody else have this set and what have you done, what did you use, to do interiors?

The dome car baffles me, I don't believe N&W had any such car, unless they got one during a merger.  I have seen photos of dome cars with the N&W logo but I believe they were privately owned/painted, excursion types.

I may repaint or sell the dome car, depending on what I can find out about them.  Most I've seen are not smooth sided.  This car has not been modified.

And of course they have to be pulled by my Williams brass 611:

All were 3-rail, but have had the center rollers removed (except dome car).  Also, they're running on 2-rail code 148 track, the J has BPRC (Deltang Rx65b) installed using a 12v NiMh, 2000Mah battery.
