Modeling Passenger Trains, Yay or Nay?
#27
In the 1960s, a guy had frequent photos in RMC's Boomer Trail where he made various items not available commercially by laminating tissue paper soaked in white glue over a wooden mandrel shaped to match the prototype. I think some of the ones he did were IC bi-level electrics, various early UP streamliners, maybe Milwaukee sky domes and such. That approach might work here, though you'd still have problems with paint and representing the windows.

Or, humm. You might be able to take a broadside photo, size it to scale, and print it out and then laminate it to a solid wood body, at least for the coach version. Quick and dirty, but you'd have something, anyhow.
