Correct the C1 and C3 series are not compatible and share no parts.
The C1's were in married pairs with N2C couplers the C3's are single cars with H style couplers.
The C1's were using M1/M3 relay logic the C3 has all new electrical system not compatible with the C1's
I thought those were kind of prototypes for the final order. I don't know how they differ or why LIRR got rid of them so quickly instead of keeping them around for spares or parts. I do believe they are built as two car pairs with drawbars. I don't know if the present fleet is designed that way. Maybe they weren't compatable for some reason.
They got a few of the Tokyu C1 doubledeckers, they were bought for new Skitrain but it never ran as such.
Got a pic? Do you mean contemporary bilevels or the old "double deckers"?

Can someone tell me how Long Island Bilevel coaches ended up on the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad in Colorado? I'm assuming these are an earlier model of what the LIRR is now running.
