I cannot see the

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CUS throat in the sixties as the train was being withdrawn to the yard for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-
