Walthers has had seat bench kits for many years that appear right for the
heavyweights.  Aside from that, knowing what the interiors of the Pullman
cars will also help.
I'll note that all of the cars are shortened so seat quantities and so forth
won't be "right" for the cars.

Losing weight is easy!  If you ever want to lose weight, eat and drink less.
Works  every time it is tried!

There's a company called Palace Car Co. which makes interior kits for these
and other "second tier" passenger cars.  By "second tier", I'm talking
about IHC, Con-Cor, Rivarossi, MDC, and a couple others.  I saw his stuff
at the train show and bought a few of his kits to see what they're all
about.

Usually, the kits contain a weight for the floor cut to size, a handful of
seats, a couple of walls (depending on the kit), and 3 possible plans for
that car.  If you have a specific prototype you want to go with, you might
have to cut your own internal walls.  He uses .030 styrene, mainly.

They are out of Kearney, Nebraska.  I'm looking for an address, but I think
the literature I picked up from their booth is in the box that's being
shipped to me....
