You don't say what Bi-polar you ordered, because Lionel has made a number of different MR ones, but you should look it up in the catalog at the Lionel website. (For example, they've made MR Bi-polars in both orange and in yellow and others in several different catalogs.) They often have passenger cars offered at the same time as the engines in their catalogs, and you should look at what was offered in the same catalog as the engine.

There are other cars that may work as well, but, depending on your color sensibilities, you may want to be concerned with color matching of the engines and the cars. There's almost no chance any manufacturer other than Lionel has made MR cars that will precisely match the colors of the Lionel MR Bi-polars. So if colors matching matters to you, you need to stick with Lionel cars.

Those Hiawatha cars shown above are nice, if they're the ones that will match your engine. Bear in mind, however, that they're pretty hard to find (and were offered 14 years ago), so it will probably take some time to find some, if that's what you decide on.

I have the MTH Bi-Polar and use the MTH 18" grey roof streamlined cars.  They really look great.  I usually run 8 or 9 of them with the Bi-Polar.  MTH also made the same cars with a black roof if you prefer that color scheme.  MTH has the skytop observation and the full length dome car.  The windows are generic not Milw Road specific but that does not bother me.
