Clearly all done on a set. But fun and whimsical. Very nicely done.

Maybe all done on a set.  The pull-down windows are similar to those on older European coaches and sleepers. H&M is a Swedish retailer, but they are in the US as well.

I seriously doubt that any real railroad equipment was used, and there's a lot of good natured whimsy in the script. Nevertheless, it's received a pretty positive response from Amtrak onboard employees.

Looks like they 'refurbished' a MILW 'Skytop Lounge'

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
