" Americas Railroad" Lets see your Amtrak

Amtrak through town.....then meet with coal train

Here are pics of some of my Amtrak power, etc.

Great video Marty, Love your layout.

I do like Amtrak. This is my only piece that is easy to get to.

Here is my Williams E60 #960 that I partially repainted to be a bit more accurate. Originally it was all grey with the stripes. I like it better with the black top.  I also got the numberboards. I'm going to add some "ghetto grills" on the windshields and replace some of the missing parts. This one is so old it is Lionel powered. I also have #964 awaiting the same treatment. Over several production runs Williams renumbered some of thier offerings. It's kind of fun to get them as I find them on the secondary market. 

Here are some of my Amtrak locomotives - in numerical order. Not shown are Atlas O AEM-7 911 and MTH P42 Genesis 64. F40PH 297 is an MTH PS1 model, one of the first I purchased when I re-entered the hobby in 1997. I can't understand why there has not yet been an ACS-64 in O-gauge.

MELGAR

LionChief Plus Amtrak FT is getting lots of use, both hauling its own consist of Lionel cars on the home layout, and recently hauling MTH cars at a school show.

Really happy to have my F40 back from Chas. RO, The fellow who does their warranty repairs....hmm, perhaps an OGR member????, did outstanding work.
