I have the Lionel “Super Chief” aluminum passenger car set from 1991 (Lionel 19109…). They look great behind my old 2343 AA F units.
I have the 2 add on cars as well. This includes the 19128 full dome. I really like the way Lionel diffuses the full dome windows with a plastic insert below the glass so you can’t see down into the empty car shell.
The 19113 dome observation however does not have a diffuser below the glass so you can see right through into the empty car and see the light bulb and wiring.
It looks like this:
Has Lionel ever made a diffuser to put under the dome glass in this style of dome?
Lionel part part number?
Otherwise I will likely have to make something out of scratch.
The ideal car would be a regular round end observation without the dome for Santa Fe since they never had these. But I’ve never seen a Lionel Santa Fe round end observation car without the dome with a polished smooth roof that matches the 1991 aluminum car set.
