Guy said, "Show me another dome car."

Here is a close-up of people in the upper level of a Santa Fe dome car.

The same car from a little farther away.

Show me more dome cars.

I suggest a minor rule change to speed things up.   If somebody does not make a new request, the previous request is still in effect. 

Another dome car.  I made this GN dome car from a Bachmann car before Walthers produced its GN Empire Builder train. 

 

Now .... Please show one or more passenger cars

I third the suggestion....  Unfortunately, the "rules" don't seem to be posted at the beginning of the thread anymore, and I fear some may just not get the idea of how the thread works....  I believe the last request was for anything with coal, so...

Lots of coal in the coaling tower in Hopewell Junction.

Show me any refueling facility.
