These photos are for the O-gauge scalers, although some have told me they look like (horrors!) HO (How Ordinary...). Scenes of Dallas, TX Union Station taken from the Hyatt Regency Hotel, October, 1990.

Bill:
This brings to mind the true story of the Napa Valley Wine Train and the K-Line model of this train from about 12 years ago. When K-Line received a license from the wine train company to produce an O gauge train set model of their train, K-line included a full dome car in their set but the wine train never had a full dome car in their consist.
People who say the K-line model and wanted to ride the train inquired about riding in a full dome car. The wine train company got enough requests from customers wanting to ride in a full dome car that they had to purchase one which they now use as their highest priced dinning car. Is this the case of fiction dictating to reality or something like that?

That's quite a story, Ed. thanks for sharing it! I had no idea the Wine Train had a Super dome! (Or, Big dome if you are a Santa Fe fan....)
