Amtrak N scale train models with (near) prototypical cars and consists

Fred Klein, 2016

This page has links to the N scale Amtrak trains I have assembled. Most of Amtraks cars and locomotives have been made in factory painted models, often in the different phases or paint schemes used on that piece of equipment. Amtrak uses many standardized car types, like superliners and Amfleet cars, and assembles them into different but sometimes similar trains. The modeler can do this too, and make many different trains from a collection of models. I have tried to make examples of Amtrak trains from different eras and different parts of the country, drawing on the cars and locomotives I have. I end up with a variety of different manufacturers, but that is the fun of modeling whole trains. I try to model trains staying as close as I can to the prototype and sometimes cars must be repainted or re-decaled.
