Other than the Amtrak 3/4 Dome and the Amtrak Full Dome, did Golden Gate Depot make any other Amtrak Domes? Please share photos of your cars. Thanks

Not that im aware of for Amtrak.
They did make the sightseeing lounge for the El Capitan, but I dont consider that a dome car.
There were no other Amtrak dome cars offered by GGD other than the 3/4 SP domes and the great dome. Up until the Amfleet and Viewliner cars, GGD Amtrak cars are very rare and done in small quantities with the first cars being the 4-4-2 and 10-6 PS Sleepers of 2012. However, that could change in the future should a passenger set be offered that had dome cars that lasted into the Amtrak era. Amtrak has certainly gained popularity in the last 10 years.
Hopefully the previously made B&O Pullman Strata-Dome could be remade in Amtrak colors. I recall this dome offered, at the time, in the B&O scheme. I also heard somewhere this dome was made in Amtrak, but thanks Jonathan for clearing up that false information. I can quit hoping to find that Amtrak dome out there. Higher priority IMHO, would be the ex GN/NP smoothside slabside dome coaches done in Amtrak phase 1,2,& 3.
Here is a video of the Columbian set with the Strata-dome in the consist. Video is forum member DJ'sOgaugetrains youtube video of the GGD Columbian.
