Subject: resturatnt dinner looks like old train car

Question
I'm looking for a manufator that builds and sells old train cars that are dinners. You know you have seen them in the movies. That I can have built and put a lot and serve people in the old dinner car. I hope you can help me.
thank you

Answer
Dear Margaret:

I would start by calling the transit districts of cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, and other major cities, who have inventories of retired and vintage streetcars.  then i would call the railcar and streetcar manufacturers that will know, or could possess, these cars for sale.

Some rail and streetcar manufacturers are:

Pullman
Thrall
Brill
Siemens (German)
Kawasaki (Japanese)
Trinity

Good luck in your search.  Also try eBay and Google.

Sincerely,

Pete Crosby
Transportation Management Consultant
