Two new AMT aluminum pass cars, Diner and Indian scout. I think these are later production
with the blue windows and plastic or nylon fixed couplers. I am also showing pic of another
Indian scout I have, clear windows and fixed die cast couplers. While I was handling them
it seemed the older one was heavier, so I weighed them. Sure enough, the blue window one
was 28.7oz, the clear window one was 35.2oz. So newer extruding technology or just saving
material costs? Or both? I did see a pic online of another Indian scout with Pullman plates. I bought
these two because I thought the Indian Scout had a different window configuration than mine.
Turns out the AMT cars have different configurations on each side of the car.
