Very interesting... keep us posted on the progress.

Looks interesting. I would think it would be easier to get a Walther's full length GN dome and apply these sides to it.

Why is it not for sale if under age 13?

Since it's a theater car they would have to accompanied by an adult.

seems like everything TSP has made was later released from Walthers. Kinda surprised TSP is still making kits. I tried to find some info on the UP Dome Diner, before any info came out Walthers made the thing as an RTR.

I bought this kit and decided it wasn't going to work well, the sides have like dirt formed into the them and with silver paint, it would have stuck out bad. So, I bought a Walthers Dome, filled the rear/side windows in on the Walthers car, re-cut new windows at rear/side of car and only used the theatre end (available by itself) from the kit.

Rest of kit went to the land fill. The Walthers sides, "as is", aren't 100% correct but the car turned out great. The Walthers dome with it's side inaccuracies is far better looking car than the Bachmann could ever be with anyone's sides.

The real pain is getting the Walthers car apart and back together without breaking any tabs. Use the instructions! I also added seated figures which was a perfect finishing touch.

Just a guess - legalese to cover off choking hazard from small parts?
