I am considering trying to convert some Weaver coaches to dome cars and I was wondering if the Lionel 2532-16 Vista Dome Roof for Aluminum Streamliner Passenger Cars is the same part?

Not to insult either Lionel, or Weaver, but try calling them.
They might know and be benevolent and give you an answer.

If the Weaver cars are scale length, the LIONEL you i.d. won't be a good look since it's only ~4.5" in length for use on the 15" aluminum cars; typical domes for scale length cars are 6" to 6.5"--I've been investigating the dome lengths for a project.
LIONEL also sells a dome used for their 21" scale length cars which you should consider--IIRC, it's 6.5" in length. You can find the p/n on their website.
Good luck.
