As I previously posted in wrong discussion area, I'm reposting here.
I seem to recall a discussion some time ago about OCS cars - for RW/TS.
I'm trying to find a theatre car in the game. Does anyone know if such a car does in fact exist and, if so, in which set is it available?
Thank you for any assistance.

Only one is from Britkits, but that is extremely old. I might try to get someone to make a new one or maybe even Santa Fe's California Limited cars.

Theatre cars were/are used by a variety of North American (i.e.; Canada and US) railroads as inspection cars -- placed at the end of the train. The car usually features a large picture window across the entire back end of the car with tiered seating (hence term 'theatre car') allowing executives and guests a wonderful view of the railroad and surrounding scenery as the trains rolls along.
An excellent article about one such car is available here:

Luke America was working on one years ago but to the best of my knowledge it was never completed and I have not seen another.
