US MU | Silverliner V

The Silverliner V's (also known as Rotem EMU V by Denver's RTD) are electric multiple unit railcars produced by Rotem starting in 2010. The initial order was produced for SEPTA as the Silverliner Vs; and a second order was produced for RTD in 2016. The RTD EMUs are have not yet had issues with frame cracking that has plagged the SEPTA units. These cars are also slightly lighter with fewer seats than the SEPTA units. Both liveries utilize WABCO Model N-2 couplers consistent and compatible with the couplers found on the Silverliner IV generation and can be coupled to them.

Pre-coupled MUs are included for both SEPTA and RTD liveries; additionally all cars can be purchased individually.
