No only 3 engines with a GP40 on the point. What looks like a fourth is the PB steam generator third unit back. The dome buffet was often used as a replacement for the silver sky when it was out with a illnesses.

A Dormitory-Dome-Buffet car taking the place of the Dome-Oberservation-Buffet-Lounge.
