I just picked up the last "pair" of the Comet IIIs IHP was getting rid of (they are no longer doing resin kits). Apparently, the "masters" for these cars were made by Frank Cicero.
He was the only guy publishing NJ Transit articles for a long time. Matt Snell had some a while ago, but he seems to stick to more the modern Conrail freight stuff and such. I have his Comet IV, ALP44, and ALP46 articles. I think he made a few more that I might have, but I don't remember off the top of my head.
It look like he electrified too, but I can never seem to find much on his layout.
