I found a workaround for the photo file. I opened it in Microsoft word, then saved the image as a .jpg file.

This is my first time responding to anything. I focus on Q passenger – primarily on the Chicago-Twin Cities line.  

I am interested in the diner lounges 307-308 and 325-326.  They were made from full diners.  And it looks as though the vestibules were added.  Can someone comment how these cars were used and why they were constructed?

I share a photo of one (326).  I got the photo from a website that is now not active.

I am beginning to build the NKP kit for the above car, which I remember well on the AK-SAR-BEN, as seen one morning at the CUS throat in the sixties as the train was being withdrawn to the yard for servicing. It was attention-getting with its wide windows and Venetian blinds,  all down but open.  



The kit is missing a center sill and there is no description, diagram,  nor dimensions on which to scratch build one.  I am presuming that the sill was apparently a flat girder or channel, and that the brake levers, etc. were mounted on the bottom surface (like freight cars).  Am I correct?  Does anyone know?



I have built a number of NKP HW car kits, and the resulting models can be stunning- and this is no exception.  



I have also contacted Tom Shneid about this question.



Thank you-
