That is a real cool car! I like the looks, as I'm a Pennsy fan. The dome is nice and the interior detail is just plain great. It would probably be better not to run it behind a Doghouse tender, though. Either way, an excellent video, as always.
in Pennsy-speak the "Doghouse". It was a place for the brakeman to sit; back in the day when a brakeman would actually have to walk the top of the train turning on the break wheels to slow the train. As automatic air breaks throughout the length of the train did away with that (a LOT safer too), the "doghouse" may have served for the brakeman to just keep eye on the train for any dragging equipment, hotboxes, etc. Caboose crew did similar, just looking forward over the length of the train.
You folks do a great job with these videos. They give a first hand look at what's available in this hobby. Well done ! 👍
Thanks for the support!

Will Lionel make a southern dome car
The cabin on the tender ruins the view from the dome.
I may get a Southern dome if Lionel makes it.
The cars look really great. They just need to step up their game with the camera so it doesn’t look so pixelated.
I rode in a dome car on the southern crescent
You’re special
What locomotive is pulling the dome car
A Pennsylvania M-1
Dome cars didn't run under catenary wires
What is the cabin on the tender?

The 'doghouse'
Pennsylvania didn't own dome cars.
Technically they did because they had some on lease from Great Northern for the long-distance trains.
