Free HD Train Footage
60 minutes of very cool HD train footage that you can download for free. In fact, they encourage you to download and remix to you heart's content. Cool.
You will need a torrent program like BitTorrent or similar. All four seasons required 70Gb of hard drive space.

Help with passenger car type
I am not a passenger train modeler (yet!) but, as part of modeling the OBRY, I want to include their two coaches. These coaches are used to host a scenic trip with and optional dinner.
Can anyone tell me what type of coach the OBRY is pulling in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTijHBkgmMY? The best view starts around the 3:26 mark.
If you know of an N scale version of these, that information would also be great.
Thanks!
