MP54E1 [PRR MP54E1] Standard all-passenger electric multiple unit car. Hundreds of these were built. This is an early, unrebuilt car, but the differences at this scale are minor.
MPB54E3 [PRR MPB54E3] Electric motor combine car, half coach, half baggage. According to Pennsy Power II, only five of these were built. They normally each ran with a trailer car.
MB62E1 [PRR MB62E1] Full baggage electric motor car. These were rare.
MP54 [PRR MP54] The MP54 was originally a locomotive-hauled suburban coach car; after self-powered units came to be, unpowered cars remained in existence to be pulled by the powered cars.
