Hello! Is anyone aware if a bi-level Nippon Sharyo O Gauge Passenger Car has ever been offered? Available in smaller scales (photo attached), but I’m finding nothing in the way of O gauge. I’m a bit of a CalTrain enthusiast, and though the Bombardier passenger cars are nice, they’re not the classic CalTrain passenger car. Appreciate any insights!

Only Kato has offered those in HO and N. Since Kato is based in Japan, that makes sense. But Kato doesn’t make any O gauge stuff.
And it’s highly unlikely any O gauge manufacturer will make them because of the regional nature of those cars. I believe Caltrain was the only American buyer.
I appreciate your reply, Jim. Makes sense. At some point MTH offered a CalTrain Amfleet passenger car set, but agree an O scale version on the Nippon cars will probably never happen. ****. Looks like I’m branching out into HO...
Thanks again for the reply.
Virginia Railway Express also has a fleet of them. The closest you'll get is the MTH bi-level cars, but even those arent close. Its such a niche I doubt you'll ever see them.
