Post a picture of it! (I'm trying to get ideas for some more!)
I've got 3 custom built cars myself. But, you'll have to wait for the pictures as they'll be entering the paintshop in a week or two!
Thanks!

i'll have to find my pics. I built a custom NYS&W Cafe observation car as close to the real NYSW 510 car that the late Walter Rich (owner) owned.
This ones not so much custom built just custom painted to look like polished stainless. I am in the early stages of building the Milwaukee Road's Montana when it was still in Milwaukee service. I'm starting with a Walthers MILW tap lounge. A Tap lounge is what Milwaukee built the Montana from. I'm lacking a good side view of the car which is making getting the measurements right a little tough. I have a lot 3/4 views but no straight on side views.

Thats an excellent finish, it looks like something that an aircraft factory would produce.

Ah yes, the "Otto Kuhler". I do believe the real thing is for sale:

Where in North Jersey Steve? I grew up watching trains at CP5 in Ridgefield Park.
