Old dining car or even day coach with seats might do.

There are a lot of wrecked coaches in the workshop area of the Central station. You could ask at the office there.

The front of the cramped cab is sheeted with inch-thick steel plate with two visors cut for visibility.
Steel fashioned from railway iron have been welded into a device not unlike the "cow catchers" bolted onto steam trains in Wild West films.
The heavy-duty glass windshield is punctured by a bullet hole while the steel cab doors and interior paneling are also scarred by recent shrapnel.

"Each time they attack, I crouch down," said Em Op, 56, chief engineer on a Sihanoukville-bound train earlier this month"
Earning on average a salary of 50,000 riel ($20) per month, Op and his engineer colleagues do not drive trains for the money.
"I could not find the words to describe this job although its becomes my way of life," he said.

Used to be plenty behind the main station in PP. I used to wander around back there photographing.
Many were being used to live in.

I was told most of that old rolling stock came from NZ. The railcard came from NZ. A railways man told me years ago that there was still a railcar near Battambang down an embankment. It was blown off the rails by a KR mine.
The kiwi coaches are built with a lot of valuable timber and some greedy General is hanging out for a big profit from them.
