This is a rough idea, not to scale, of a GWR railroad car from a drawing I found on line, the drawing shows the car to be just over 70 foot long, and this is from circa 1928 cars. Most everything was made from Alder, some Oak was used in walls and benches, there are several more drawings of different dining cars with kitchens that would be fun to try, but there is too much detail on inside of them for my ability and patience.

Great job.
You said others were beyond your ability and patience. I would say that they are not beyond your ability. We all need work on our patience.

Great looking car, I have played a model railroading a bit, but I had to stop and google that “trailer” carriage
definition-first time I had seen it mentioned. Back in the 1950’s or so we had a unit called a Goose in eastern
Montana that had small driving engine in the front of a car with a small freight compartment in the middle and
a passenger section on the back that was used for local railway travel and freight. The only reference I can
find online is the Galloping Goose railcars operated in Colorado. Guess I am going to have to dig a little deeper
to convince myself I am not delusional. Thank you for sharing.
