I want something that looks like an underground passenger car, like the one you see in NY - those look more futuristic. The Walthers look good, but I will need to gather a team.Do you know any clubs in my province?
You can check the listings for clubs at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nmra.org/">http://www.nmra.org/</a><!-- m --> (US-based with Canadian clubs as well - look under regions & divisions on the left side of the page) or at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.caorm.org/">http://www.caorm.org/</a><!-- m --> (Canadian equivalent).
The other thing you might do is ask at City Hall about any models that have been made of transit projects. I know there was one done here in HO scale for the "OTrain" (Ottawa's preliminary LRT) using the available HO scale model of their Bombardier Talent BR643 DMU diesel-powered vehicles depicting their northern station. I think the guy who made it is a member of one of the clubs in Ottawa.
Hope that helps.
Andrew
