Years ago, I think 1981, Mainline Modeler ran a 5-part series on kit
bashing several Pullman styles from the plastic 12-1 body. I built a
12-2 from the SHS 12-1 (not as simple as it sounds!). As I reacall the
8-1-2 and 14 section cars were also detailed. You might use that as a
start for your idea. The two keys would be replacement window strips
and roof top air ducts. Those elements are the most challenging to
model.
We looked at the 3-2-Obs Lounge as a project once. The cars were used
on NYC, B&O, SP, UP, MILW, SRR and PRR name trains, but we determined
that S lacked the critical mass to support the car in brass. That was
a tough decision since I love passenger trains and heavyweight Pullmans!
