Model Railroading > Fleischmann Hi-Level bodies?

Trying to find one of the lounge car, my 82-year old Dad has given up waiting for the correct scale version to ever get done. Found one but need another to chop up and bash together to finish off his El-Cap. These suckers are proving hard to find. If got one you want to get rid of....

Also, any hints to chopping them up to make a decent compromise representation would be appreciated. Pix?

Yeah I know someone will say just buy a brass one, well, that ain't in everyones budget....

My dad has a collection that he obtained while working in the ATSF Corp Comm dept before retirement and refuses to part w/any. I have seen several on Ebay recently and have seen several at swap meets. A friend of mine had combined two together but, didnt' look right.
