Sure, I can post more pics of the car, and yeah, I have had very good luck on ebay
Sorry for the very late response, I've been swamped with projects and junk. I recently repainted my mbta f40 and coach and now they look a lot like the locomotive and coach in the 2nd pic you posted ;D I'm waiting on some decals and I shall post some pics!!!!
It's really not all the hard! Just use plenty of masking tape, lol. Pick a junk locomotive or piece of rolling stock and practice on it!

Believe it or not, I've got an HO-scale MBTA F40PH from LIFE-LIKE!
I do also have an MBTA horizon coach car and cab car from Walthers, and they work fine. I mean, sure they don't look like MBTA's REAL current F40PHs...
(This is what most of the real MBTA commuter trains I see in my area have.)
...but it still looks pretty realistic IMHO. You could even get this Life-Like Snap-Loc commuter station building kit, and with a bit of customization and kitbashing have it look like a more authentic MBTA station:

Looking good. One of these days I'll work up the courage to try painting a loco
