Anyone have floor plans for passenger train cars?
I'm putting a scenario together which will partially take place on a European passenger train, and I'm looking for basic dimensions and (if possible) floor plans for both sleepers and dining cars.

If you have access to Horror on the Orient Express it has a good set of train floor plans.

I found some stuff about Amtrak sleeps which might be convertible to what I need.

Try the Bombardier website - they build trains for some European railways
Might also want to try here, http://www.railserve.com/Equipment/Manufacturers/

Here's a couple of freebies from a website.

Our Hero Plus Adventure, The Locomotive Pirates, has some excellent maps of train cars. They're 1930s-era, but the differences between now and then aren't extreme. ;)

EDIT: Purchased and downloaded. Thanks, Steve!

Glad to be of assistance. John Lees did a great job on those maps; IIRC he had actually done some of them in advance and I tweaked part of the adventure to fit them (not that a lot of tweaking is required from one train car to another ;) ).
