Hello Hancock52, a question for you', where did you get the table ware, tea pot, etc. They appear to be in scale. and look very good on the tables... Nice work'..

They are all “quarter scale” 3D printed items, which are basically made for dioramas or scale room scenes. If you look up “quarter scale” on either flea bay or Google you will find a range of suppliers, although in many cases they are catering to dollhouse builders/collectors who go in for furnished areas, and you may have to hunt around for things like snack packaging. That scale is a very good match for most O scale passenger interiors although sometimes 1/144 scale will also work.
I have built out one entire dining car interior with this stuff although unlike Santiago’s effort this is a fantasy scheme that also relies on heavy use of LED lighting in the dining compartment and kitchen:

One question for @SANTIAGOP23 - looks like you used real fabric for the tablecloths in the dining car, but what material was it and/or how did you get it to drape over the edges so realistically? I have resorted to using self-stick vinyl sheets (which can be printed on) to try to get the folds to stay in place:
Admittedly these are shorter than yours, but cut fabric often frays along the edges.
Also, in the Solarium car I imagine you scratch built the partitions.
Sorry fo por the late reply....I didn’t use real fabric but wrapping tissue paper. I depicted this process in an article for OSR, please take a look...

Yes, I scratch built the partitions. The door is a modified grandt line.

Thanks for the tip - I never would have thought of using paper but I see how it works.

Another great image Santiago! As always, fantastic work.

I would, but since I don't live in the States shipping makes it too expensive for it to be worth it.
Ok. Thank you. Your work is outstanding!
Beautiful work as always Santiago'''... Your love for the hobby is oblivious in your excellent work'.. Your not in the states, where is your location???... if I may ask'... I re-read your article on the dining car in O Scale resource. Excellent presentation...👍

Congratulations Santiago, on your beautiful presentation in the O Scale Resource magazine , July & August edition. Again, the only thing I can say is EXCELLENT'.. I really like the fact that you include the correct amount of history to accompany the build... 👍
Thanks, Ted! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm located in Colombia btw.
Outstanding craftsmanship.

Outstanding! What paint brand did you use on the roof & trucks?
