Revitalized Aristo-Craft Aluminum Passenger Dome (w Lighted Dome)

[Greg Elmassian]

yes, it's only double deck under the dome..

picture from one end, stairs up to the center in distance, you cannot quite tell that the aisle to the side goes down...

The main windows indeed often had a greenish tint. Never seen the real dome lighted at night.

The USA Trains is a pretty faithful copy:

Thanks Greg!

Here's a handy illustration of that.
Oh, and a modeling note, as well as tinting the side windows, painting the dome's clear plastic with a bit of thinned Tamiya transparent green acrylic model paint with a bit of transparent blue added is a way to represent that if dome window plastic is not already tinted. Airbrushing interior of clear part is preferred method for a smooth coat but hairy sticks can be used if you have sufficient skill there.
