The main body of the car has one large room that can be used as a lounge/dining area (coach seats included with car or Seller can remove them), the main room is divided from the observation area but the bulkhead can be removed to create one large observation lounge. The vestibule end of the car is still equipped with the original restroom that could be converted into a bar/kitchen area and still have room for one restroom.
