With the lack of anything good in N Scale for passenger cars, I have decided to try to kitbash my own set of Horizon/Comet cars for my model rr empire.

Does anybody know where I could find some sketches, drawing or any kind of specs of the Horizon/Comet cars that I may use to aid me?

Here are a few photos from Railpictures.

I can't seem to locate any "roster shots' of such.

I will leave this topic open for a while lest someone find a link to a roster shot, however, it will eventually be moved to a Modeling Forum.

Thanks you guys, I have been on the hunt for these for about 2 yrs now, As Ken S said, the Horizon is based off the Comet cars by Bombardier, which a handful of Commuter RR has later versions of.
