Surprisingly not an Amtrak idea!

Someone should custom paint one of these!

I had heard of the Swiss McD dining cars.  In their favor, Swizerland is a small country, with short train routes, so the crew could probably make a round trip.

I've also heard that in Switzerland, it's considered proper to eat hamburgers with a knife and fork.  If that's true, that could also be a problem for McD, especially for people wanting to eat at their seats.  And how would one eat a Big Mac with a fork?

The Swiss version is available in HO.

Oh, and for the DB version you only need the Golden Arches and apply them to a standard painted dining car.
Although it seems, that this prototype is not available in N scale.

The DB cars, according to the article, were tested in Switzerland

I thought this was something current. No, it happened over 20 years ago!

Some various McDonald's locations across the US and Canada used to have cabooses or other rolling stock on their property. I remember one in the town my grandparents lived in when I was growing up. We'd drive past it when going to visit.
