Thanks for the link. Not quite the same. Hoping to find one closer to the rails that run in Portland,Oregon.

Also try the Model Railroader forum for ideas people come up with there.

If GM "killed the electric car", what am I doing standing next to an EV-1, a half a block from the WSOR tracks?

As it is Portland, most of their equipment after the first cars were made by Siemens.  Consequently you can get the S 70 and other models from German manufacturers, but in HO or N.  I didn't see any in O except some design made by Lenz from the early 20th century.  Most German modelers don't have the space for O scale.

Many models, but not the Siemens line, although Duewag was taken over by Siemens so that model might suffice:

Thanks for all your replies. Still not quite what I am looking for. Well at least not the scale that I am looking for. So I guess we are getting a little closer.

The light rail cars can also be a nonworking kit too. As the rail will be used in a light rail diorama.

Worst case scenario is that I will have to build one from scratch. I was just hoping it would not have to come to that. Would be more easy to purchase one and maybe modify it a little to get the look I am after.

Thanks for looking.....Joel
