With some links from DoctorWayne I got enough information that I can start my Aerotrain project. I have an unpowered locomotive and 9 cars that have no interiors or lighting.
I have the needed decals, a locomotive that can be a donor for the power source, and one (1) interior from Gold Rush Bay that I purchased on Ebay .
I started with the HO Train 50' Palace Pullman Passenger Car White Interior Roundhouse MDC , Item# 173941886754 from Gold Rush Bay. https://www.goldrushbay.com/
I made a cut that left me 10 rows of seats.
I scribed and broke them apart (and now know I should use a razor saw for a better edge.)
The front row of seats needs to be reversed so I cut them apart to re-glue them so the end seats are facing. If a 1/4 inch was added to the floor on each end they would be
perfect.
I used the set of 6 rows to test for the height inside and it works out fine. (The picture also shows the cars need a good paint job.
)
There is a bulkhead at the end of the seating with doors to the vestibule. I found one picture that shows this.
I have sent these pictures to Christian to see if he can make the seating I need to eliminate the cutting and gluing. The bulkheads to the vestibules won't be too hard because they are not all that visible.
At least I have a start.
