The third one (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=56065) is
very similar to a car I built for my Black and White Metroliner clone. My
version is on the left end of the train in this picture:

I used the Type 1 sliding door in mine (http://img.lugnet.com/ld/4511.gif).

I have four kits on the market (Carolina Train Builders -
http://www.nclug.net/ctb) and you are right on about pricing. Because you
have to buy from the secondary market it will be tough to price cars like
your at a price point below $50. Unless you can get 10001 and/or 10002 at
discount prices I think you'll find that you'll have to be in the $75 price
range to make it worth your while.
