In my ongoing conversions of AristoCraft streamliners I have attempted to create this Seaboard Air Lines car. The ‘Hollywood Beach’. These cars were created and used on the East Coast roads to fit through the low clearance tunnels where to popular dome cars couldn’t fit. Although a few of the East Coast roads did get specially made lower dome cars Seaboard went this route.
I will update my Article for the full build but here are the pics of the work.
