Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hi all,

Now that Walthers has announced some of their Superliners in the Amtrak Phase IVb scheme, please list which other cars would you like to see in this scheme. Also, would you like them to feature the same new details that the Superliners will have (Full Interiors, Available Lighting, etc.) If I get enough people to chime in on this, I will be sending it on to Walthers…

I would like to see the following cars with upgraded features…

  1. Horizon Fleet Coaches, Cafes, and Business Class Cars(Found on Surfliner Service)
  2. Amfleet I and II Coaches and Cafes
  3. Superliner Transition Sleepers and Coach/Baggage Cars(These were left off the recent announcement for some reason)
  4. Budd Baggage Cars
  5. Budd Full Dome Lounge

Thank you in advance for your participation,

Sean
