There is a very nice set of Amtrak single-deck coaches, each about 16" long, made by RailKing. The 4-pack includes a baggage car, Vista dome car, coach car, and observation car. Just follow this link

The set is $200. Pretty inexpensive especially since these are VERY nice cars. Includes detailed interior and lighting, and baggage car features opening doors.
Throw in a Full-Length Vista dome and you’ll have a nice consist. It is $50.

MTH also has a wide variety of other Amtrak cars and locomotives, so I’m sure you’ll find just what you want.
I TRYED MTH BUT THEY HAVE NO STOCK ON AMTRAK AND THE PASSENGER SET HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR OVER ONE YEAR. 30-67142.WAS TO BE SHIPPED IN 2004 NOW ALMOST 2006 STILL NO CARS NOT VERY GOOD PLANNING ON THERE PART.
Try The Western Depot website:

I searched on “lionel amtrak” (without the quotation marks). There are other auctions selling cars individually.
