The problem with commuter cars in general is that most cars are built for a specific commuter rail agency thus resulting in numerous unique cars. Since unique commuter equipment would have a limited market outside of that car's metropolitan area/region, there's little incentive for manufacturers to make them. Commuter cars that have been produced by Walthers and Athearns we models purchased by multiple commuter agencies. Amtrak equipment, although unique to Amtrak, can be found roaming across the nation, thus has the potential for a nationwide appeal. <br /> <br />I agree with you that I would love to see more commuter equipment, but I doubt that any major manufacturer will make them. I'm still waiting for someone to make New Jersey Transit's Arrow III cars. <br /> <br />But perhaps there is hope in some distant future... Life Like did make those New York City Subway cars and company's such as Broadway Limited and Precision have came out with railroad specific prototype models that are very unique , so who knows.
