Thank you Chris
I finally got back to the project this past week, starting with the interior:

first added windows all around then, scratchbuilt the interior from sheet styrene and uses Alexander coach seats, twenty of them in all for a passenger capacity of forty. The interior is removable, in case I want to add any more details later.
I then started to finish off the drive

I found some proto power west components that worked with the shaft diameter of my chosen motor. I needed the flywheel and motor-side universal from them. They slid right onto the motor's long shaft.

Here it is installed but not glued down. I've never attached a motor without screw before, I've heard some use silicon?
