Trebuchet Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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.

I found some stuff about Amtrak sleeps which might be convertible to what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Bombardier website - they build trains for some European railways Might also want to try here, http://www.railserve.com/Equipment/Manufacturers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a couple of freebies from a website. http://www.urbanaut.com/Vehicle%20Concepts%20and%20Capacities%204.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Long Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Re: Train car plans? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Re: Train car plans? 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 ).
