The problem with any replacements is that they won't match the acceleration of the 323...without a timetable recast. the 319s would need to be cut down to 3 car sets to keep the timings.

That would require some fairly major work. Underneath the ATS are things like the compressor and main reservoir, plus the motor alternator and the auxiliary batteries, along with a myriad of other things which would all need to be moved for the unit to work. Plus of course it is the vehicle with the toilets in. The other option is a new traction package, which would improve the units acceleration.
