Thanks

Corey,

I don’t understand what you’re looking for? Walther’s has made numerous Amtrak diners, like Amfleet, Heritage and Superliners, all nicely-painted. What do you mean the “door is wrong”?

The Walthers Amfleet food service cars can be whatever you want, just use the decals supplied with the car.

Actually the only real diners are the superliners and budd diners, the rest are just cafes. What i mean is the walthers budd model doesn’t accuratly protray the diners currently used by amtrak, athearns diners protray steam heat diners used by the atsf.
