IMG_5409With the WP car out of my way I can move to other projects. Right now I'm detailing the interior of this brass diner, but I'm thinking it would be great if I can turn it into a Burlington diner or Expo service. 

While not a perfect match, this Q diner serves for reference. However if you guys have pictures of Q heavyweight diners that better match my model I'd appreciate if you could help me out.

White tableclothes, flowers, big luxury!!!!! what is on the menu today?

For the floor carpet of my superliner, I used also textures (from SKETCHUP) and I printed them directly on self adhesive paper (according to the 2D plans, so I have automatically the cutting for the partitions or other thing); it's easier than gluing and makes a neat work.

This car is, as usual, splendid!

But a wonderful project!

This remember me the long trips by train with my parents where we used to go for lunch in the dining car years ago! incredible but past era....! what we ate was of awesome quality in a quiet atmosphere, for sure much better than the rubbery and tasteless sandwiches of the TGV, sat on unconfortable stools!..........

If I can make you a suggestion:

The photos you posted of the dining cars inside are in black and white; so I can't see how are the interior walls; but if you want to add some style, I suggest to put on the walls some "wood veneer" with golden edging like were the dining and pullmann cars in Europe (look at the photos I posted). It's easy to do with SKETCHUP textures like the exemple I made for you below:

panneau bois_exemple

The colors can be obviously changed (mahogany, teak....) and be fitted to your preference, its just an exemple of what is possible to make........

Then, you can print them on a gloss photo paper and glue on the walls.

I can do it for you, if you don't have the software and if you want.........

Just an idea......
