@solidshots23 It is a square-end dome-lounge-observation, released by Rivarossi (in partnership with Walthers) in 2003 just before they went of business. As a result it is rare. It came in a 4-car set with 2 coaches and a diner. I don't think they released it individually. It is a correct model for Union Pacific only. The real cars were built in 1955 and were only tail-end cars for a year before being rebuilt for mid-train use with the end windows blanked. Walthers now makes a mid-train version.
