North Shore Line Electroliner

Description
The Electroliner is basically a mix between a trolley and a train, built to be able to navigate the tight turns of the Chicago El, but also be able to go fast. This was made for the North Shore Line as a luxury passenger train, only 2 were made, the top speed was 110 mph, but it got to crossings too fast so they limited it to 90, this is luxury back in the day, and when the North Shore Line was shut down they were sold to the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company, also known as the Red Arrow Lines, where they were converted to the "Liberty Liners" and both served up until the demise of the Red Arrow Lines, both units are preserved, with one at the rockhill trolley museum, in really bad shape, and one at the IRM, which is getting an overhaul and should be done soon! This was made over many months of work in blender, and many beta testers went through it to find any bugs with it while I worked to get it done, I hope you all enjoy this, as it is probably my most iconic model, coming before my Amfleets, but finished and polished after them. Below you will find a few articles and a video that I used for information!
The CORRECT order for this is 1 Front, 1 Lounge, 1 Coach, and 1 Rear, it is a 4 car consist.

Would you ever consider making a version where the northshore branding is not a part of the physical model so it could be retextured to fictitious liveries

They were different, with the South Shore Line operating in the south of Indiana, and the North Shore Liner operating in norther Indiana and some of Wisconsin.
