Amtrak's Horizon and Amfleet Cars

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

I’m looking for information and/or drawings for Amtrak’s Horizon and Amfleet cars. I have a couple of cars from Walther’s that I want to modify for correct height, coupling distance, etc. If you could point to some references or have some information about the dimensions of these cars that would be great. Thanks.

Railroad Model Craftsman published drawings of the Horizon fleet cars a number of years ago, check their website for back issues.

Thats right, they did, I forgot about that, I should check my stack in the basement…Hopefully that issue didn’t get discarded when I moved. Thanks. If anybody knows off hand which issue it is that would be appreciated, I looked at their web site, and you can’t easily search some index for articles.
