Does anyone make the Bi-level passenger cars in O scale?  In 2004 MTH was going to offer them.  I was specifically interested in the Southern Pacific roadname...but they cancelled them.  Matt

I wonder if the height difference is as pronounced with the (available) models of the equipment in the photo?

That may be the effect of the telephoto lens or the angle of the photo. As I recall those SP Hi-Level commute cars, they are just as high as the C&NW, CB&Q, and Rock Island high-level cars in the Chicago area.

 

Even though the MTH cars would not be technically correct for those SP cars, I sure would still like a set of 4 or 6 to run behind my SP P-10 Pacific or the MT-5 Mountain. Plus, that two tone SP gray is actually quite pleasing, and sure don't need no "sunset stripes" on them either!
