MDC passenger cars. converted to different passenger types?

[Anonymous]

has anybody converted any of MDC's 50 ft overland or pullman passenger cars into specialty passenger cars such as cafe-coah, buffet-lounge-parlor, lunch counter-coach, parlor-buffett-solarium and other types? also are there any detail parts to furnish MDC 50 passenger cars with interiors including seats? also a passenger car that has solarium section, does that have wide open windows on that end or on the roof. also what is the difference between MDC's 50 ft overland pullman cars and it's original 50 ft pullman cars? in the color photos it looks like its 50 ft pullman overland passenger models do not have queenposts like the original 50 pullman cars have.

i have four of the mdc 50' overland cars in c&o decoration. they do have plastic queen posts with black nylon thread for truss rods. several other plastic pieces glue beneath. nice end railing detail and brake wheel/posts.

they are my first rolling stock, i don't really know (and i've been wondering) how they stack up to others. they do come in well under the nmra weight recommendations.

i too welcome sources for detail parts.
