Isn't there a 'Great Dome' from the Empire builder set that could be used for this?

from the screenshots from the Great Northern F7 ‘Empire Builder’ Loco Add-On it looks like they used the default dome car or G-TraX's Lightweight Passenger Cars dome car and not a full dome car.

Your post has me a little confused. So are you saying the "full dome" is not the same as what you are looking for?

Have you tried repainting yourself? Doing a simple repaint such as a patch on a locomotive is one way to start.
