Doing research for school and have a question about passenger cars. I am doing research on starting a passenger excursion train, and am researching the costs associated with it.
I want to know the best used commuter cars that are bi-level. I have looked at 8700 Pullmans as well as a few others, but I figure somebody on here would have better experience than I. I am looking at a model name and number, and then possibly where I can buy them. They would be pulled by an engine, so they don't need to be DMU's. I want each to hold 150-160 passengers.
Another big question is where can they be refurbished? If you can list out specific companies, that'd be great.
Thanks for all your help.
