2024年6月19日 · Williams made 20" cars (80'). But "scale" would be 21.5" (85'). The Williams cars are basically jumbo versions of Lionel postwar-style aluminum cars, down to the lack of interiors, frosted window strips with silhouettes, and incandescent bulbs. Way back when, CTT's review likened them to disco-era platform shoes. ---PCJ I have a 6-car set of the 15" versions bought upon initial release. I've ...

2019年10月15日 · Hello, does anyone know if there is an Amtrak Viewliner baggage car made in O scale? Thanks

2024年6月27日 · "Now onward to Genesis and Charger models! Genesis designs are in great shape and Chargers are in progress. Jonathan" PLEASE DONT TELL ME both the Genesis and Chargers will be in the same production run and arriving at the same time! [ like the viewliner and amfleet rerun with the Superliner cars/sets]! My wallet took a big beating already!

2024年7月5日 · Interesting to see how quickly the paint has faded on the Viewliner striping. These cars have only been in service for about 4 years. Which train is this, the Zephyr or the Chief? Interesting to see two full baggage cars. Thinking I should have ordered another one now!

2024年6月27日 · Here are photos I took in 1980 at Chicago's Amtrak yard. These cars had just been delivered from the Hammond, IN Pullman plant. These interior colors lasted through the phase 2 and 3 paint scheme years. I plan to adjust some of the seat colors in the Sightseer at some point, adding some orange over the tan seats from GGD. The tan and reds GGD used in the phase 2 cars are good though.

2024年7月3日 · Just got my Superliners as well as a few Viewliners and one Amfleet in today. Absolutely gorgeous cars, I love the Sightseer Lounge car. I had one duplicate road number sleeper, but otherwise seems like a flawless set. Just got the rest of the cars unboxed, I'll post more photos and videos in a minute but wanted to go ahead and give some more detailed thoughts on the cars. Overall I'm ...

2024年7月4日 · It's a matter of proportion. The height to length ratio is easily distinguishable to the trained eye. Most modelers can see the difference of an 18" Superliner from across a room as the length has been shortened, but the height and the width have not. The Lionel Amfleet cars are a different story as the height and cross section has been scaled down to match the reduced length of 19". They look ...

2024年7月4日 · I think it would be cool if the light was a color changing bulb like you see on Christmas trees. You could have the bulb off, clear (the normal ones the cars already), and a cool blueish color. I don't know about sleeping cars, but in coach they have blue lights in the cars at night so you can see where you're walking, like on airplanes.

2024年7月4日 · The Superliners and Amfleets look fantastic on your layout Peter! Extending Amtrak to Douglas was such a smart move to fill those trains.
