detailing coach interiors

 I have the Roco model of the Kombiverkehr Rollende Landstrasse coach Model number 45474 DB-AG

I wish to fit interior lighting and fit passengers but before I do that I would like to paint the interior with some correct colours as the interior is only in a dark brown plastic, I have tried to find some detailed pictures of the interior but had no luck so far, if anyone could help with my search I would be most grateful.

Loksound in a Bachmann 44 tonner - Success!

[Edited 10/28/16]

I recently purchased a Loksound micro loaded with the dual caterpillar sound set, along with a TCS KA 4 for installation in a Bachmann 44 ton locomotive.

After considerable hassle, the decoder and Keep - Alive work together satisfactorily.

I most certainly will not be installing more Loksound decoders in my roster

Help! How do I create rivets in Sketchup for HO scale models

I need some help.  I have the basics of Sketchup down, but I can't figure out how to create rivets.  I just need the half circle dome.  I am working on some 3D printed passenger car sides, and need lots of rivets, but can't seem to do it well.  I plan on having them made through shapeways.  Can someone please point me in some easy direction?

Thanks,

Doug
