Most of the models of the dome cars are off/wrong.  The prototypes had the floor under the dome area depressed to accommodate the dome area (hidden by the skirting on the car).  Most of the models either use S scale or smaller seating for the dome area because the car floor is one piece of stamped steel.  The alternative is to blank the windows in what should be the lowered area.  

 

It looks like the Atlas O dome interior is a separate part that you may be able to order/modify for your needs , part no. CZ0027.  It may be "squished" as well since they didn't lower the car floor.  You may be able to find a similar part from Lionel or MTH?

Steve and Chuck, thanks for your reply, I did a preliminary check for the availability of a molded plastic seat arrangement before I started this posting yesterday could not find anything.

 

I will most probably scratch built a seating arrangement using Plastruct/Evergreen styrene, to fill the open void below the Vista Dome, then change the light bulbs to led lighting.
