1-- two half-carriage domain s 2-- Your reasoning is correct, but your preposition is wrong. It is the underfloor area of a train (rather than of a bus or a building). 'Of' does not simply represent possession, but has several uses, as in 'part of'.

1. It's about one domain with two half-carriages... I wouldn't form such a compound, it's rather vague, sounds akward and is very likely to be misunderstood. There may exist another name for that: try searching technical English dictionaries.

thanx,
Of the second one, I gotta have ear a bit, but the first compund word is such boredom and I can't simply avoid usage.
This is actually seen as one domain, a bit confused about "s" at the end,
two half-carriages -> this is clear
two half-carriage domains -> strange as domain is single
two half-wheel earrings -> that's common, but that means a pa

QUOTE: two half-carriage domains -> strange as domain is single
No, TWO domains is plural.
No, TWO domains is plural.

Couldn't it be something like "a two half-carriage domain"? A domain with two half-carriages?

ciao pieanne,
your solution is pretty elegant
"a two half-carriage domain"
everything in between "a <-> domain" is kinda adjectives.
sounds akwardly, especially if i have to repeat many times in article...
I gonna cope ..
thanx
