Hey guys,
Just thought I would share a few pics of my new LGB Amtrak items.
How many did you buy??? lol Looks like you cleaned them out…
I kinda went overboard but they are awesome! There are 2 P-42’s in Phase 3 paint and 1 in Phase 4 paint. There is one Materials handling boxcar as well as 6 Phase 3 coaches and 2 Phase 3 Cafe cars and 1 Phase 4 Coach. And I’m not done yet; I just ordered 1 more Phase 4 coach and another boxcar. After all is said and done, the train will be just under 40ft long. Now I need to finish my layout so I can run the darn thing!
Yikes! Thats quite a roster, I think you should change your forum ID to “AmtrakManiac” [;)]
Beautiful trains David , nice pictures . [:)]
I understand your reasons why [;)], everytime I see a Amtrak passenger train , I want several myself [:P] .
They will look great operating on your layout [:)]
I like the frieght cars in the background as well Johnny!
I’m envious. I am looking to buy a set myself. The cheapest I have found them, so far, is Ridgeroad station. Wondering if you got a discount for purchasing as many trains as you did.
No discount for purchasing a bunch. Most of the internet and mail order places are already selling for very tiny profits.
Nice looking collection.
Nice looking Amtrack trains . Saw some at a local train show last month and was pritty impressed by them . They are on my list .
Forty foot,WOW, I thougth my 23 ft SF consist was long. and now I have to shorten it by two cars to make it look acceptable on the current INDOOR road. and to long for the small outdoor .
I see you run your trains like METRA in Chicago.
You run through against the switches. Your engineer does not obey signaling.
You did not want to tell Zak he would be dealing with gear/motor problems but now your hawking on this guys engineer problems?! What gives [banghead]
A) I’m jealous!!
- I wish I had that kind of money.
D) They’re beautiful, absolutely beautiful. (did I mention that I was a little jealous?)

I don’t get it. What signals? I don’t see any signals? What do you have against the METRA? Do you have proof of these allegations? Did you get fired from METRA? Do you have nothing better to do with your time than to stand at a switch and watch an oncoming train go through it with the switch thrown in the wrong direction? You need to read my reply in the lazy 8 thread.
