I have two side tracks that are isolated with a switch in each one, one to park the DC the other for the DCC. All the turnouts have switches to operate them. Switch on the DC controller and switch on the DC side track and vice-versa for the DCC.
You are correct for most of the short passenger trains used in towns and cities. But it seems like 99% of model trains are modeled after one of the more famous ones that did use an observation car, including the Rio Grande which was also the Zephyr I believe :thumbsup:
The Moog K-7103 upper control arm bushings do not fit the 1973 Charger. 1973 - 1979 B-bodies, and 1979 - 1981 R-bodies use a larger bushing (Moog K-7058) with their different adjustment design.
The following image shows the K-7103 bushing with the K-7058 bushing plus the stock type bushing used...
