I have that same engine with the Altas 21 in cars in the black stripe. I could never get a hold of those k line blue stripes which are correct for the harlem line that runs by me. Do you know if they intended to make a trailing A unit ? I always wondered why the rear coupler on the loco was not even functional.
I don't think they planned on it, since Metro North never really ran double-headed units. F-units tend to get dummy couplers on the rear since most of the time, they do get dummy "A" or "B" units.
I am looking for a set of the same K-line #K-4644 4-PAC Metro North cars to run behind my LIRR K-line F-7. They did get transferred to the Long Island division and ran on that division. Could you point me to a possible SALE? Dick Byrne
I don't have any leads. I got this set when it was new, and the extra cars came from a friend who did the same, and decided years later he didn't have a role for them. I'd still have just the four cars if he didn't offer them to me, since I wasn't actually looking for extras at the time.
Im looking all over for that engine. I have the 4 cars, but no engine. Im even trying to track down an MTH New Haven Genesis, so I can run these bad boys.. Great video man....
Yes they do. Most recent-issue O-Gauge passenger cars (except those made by Williams/Bachmann) have interiors featuring seats, and in some cases, passenger figures (although not a whole lot of them--which is why some owners add more to fill up the car).
Unscrew the ends, slide out the floor. The carbody is an aluminum extrusion, and the seats are mounted on the sheetmetal chassis that fits into grooves inside the car shell.
I see that those are three rail, can you get those trains come in 2 rail? That would be more raalistic. And could you have a video were the camera rides inside one of the coaches?
K-Line (under Lionel) makes some passenger trucks that can be used to convert the cars to 2-rail, but they aren't the right style of truck.
I'ts too late for me to consider 2-rail O scale. I have far too many 3-rail pieces and nowhere near enough room to do 2-rail with the kind of trains I want to run.
As for the camera-in-coach view--I don't have a camera that small :)
o okay imma get the preasure of ridin one then cause metrolink is sendin the sounder lease cars back and borrowin the comet cars from new jersey transit
I wasn't aware of that. Did some Googling and sure enough, there they are. Even found some shots of NJT cars tacked onto the ends of BNSF freights headed west.

Do those trains have seats inside? Because i think i saw them in a couple of runbys.
