Hello need help in finding out what components were used on the MP dome cars, I have no layout drawing to use.
In looking at photo’s and what plans I have. I know where the battery box goes, and the generator. Anything else is a crap shoot.The car data listing list all items that go on the car and that’s it. One thing that is a puzzle is the water tank spec’s, It says 200 gallons, this
seems odd as it is 81 passengers and a strip from Stl to Texas takes 19 + hours. Seems it should have more compacity.Any help will be appreciated.
this is my current project. MP IGN #896 Dome will have resin interiors and LED lighting.

Bill PollardApril 23, 2017 at 6:54 pm #8282mopacKeymasterBill thanks for your reply. I found a plan in and old T&P passenger car diagram book that shows the
the water tank to be 3 16″ diam x 84″ long each. I also found a photo and you can see 3 tanks
running down the center of the car, in the recessed lounge area. Another thing there is something
On the rear end mounted to the floor looks like 2 generators at 90 deg from center line.
they are on the Hallmark T&P dome car under body . Several other boxes as well. Can’t tell which one is the AC unit.
And the mystery continues. Can some one name the equipment shown in the photo’s?
