Did New Haven use Dome Cars?

NO domes.

Lots of the NH was under catenary, so no domes.

Thanks!

I always ebay my dome cars from the north east railroads since they didnt use them

'Lightning,

To accurately model NH and PRR with dome cars, you need to scatter glass and metal debris near your overpasses.

Baltimore & Ohio operated domes in and out of Washington, but they did not allow the dome to be occupied under catenary, ie east of Silver Spring.

There were Hunter Green window stripes on the Pullman-Standard streamlined cars from the late 1940's until the McGinnis era (1956?).

The New Haven streamlined green-painted cars were nicknamed "American Flyer cars" based on the AF models of them.

#90:  I believe that the B&O dome cars were actually rebuilt by the RR itself and were somewhat lower that Western dome cars.  But speaking of domes under catenary; The Milwaukee Road not only used domes, but Superdomes under catenary, all the way to the West Coast.  It is my understanding that the Milwaukee's catenary was mounted higher than on the Eastern RR's.  Seems to me that I heard that the wire was something like 25' above the rail, whereas the Pennsy's is about 22'.

The B&O domes came fresh from the Pullman factory in 1949 fully equipped for B&O's clearances.  No chopping and channeling by the railroad required.
