<p>I'm looking for models of something like the Silverliners that run on the SEPTA regional rail line that runs a few yards from where I'm planning on putting my layout in. (For details on the cars I mean, see the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPTA">Wikipedia SEPTA entry</a> under "Fleet:Regional Rail Trains").</p><p>The closest I've found so far is Aristo's Budd Rail Diesel Car, which I found on the Aristo web site. It looks a lot like the converted Pennsy Budd Silverliner IIs that run on some of the lines, but with different windows, a different roof and obviously without the catenary masts. However, the RDC isn't in the latest Aristo print catalog and I can't find it for sale anywhere (even eBay), so I'm assuming it's out of production and I'm not going to be able to find an undecorated one to Septa up.</p><p>Does anyone else know of a similar product from another manufacturer--something self-propelled, silver, ideally blank or with Pennsy livery, in a similar design? My only other thought would be to try to fit a motor into the USA Trains Amtrak aluminum coach, but I don't know how practical that is (I haven't done any G-scale kitbashing or opened up a G-scale loco yet).</p><p>Has anyone else tried something like this?</p>
