What Silver-Spike compatible cars exist? 2022 Update: Pictures and Video.

If you are referencing the Silver Spike set circa 1988, you have it all.  The original set included the following:

Powered FA-2 - 8903, Dummy FA-2 - 8904, Combine - 16013, Vista Dome - 16014, Observation - 16015.

The separate sale add on cars were:

Baggage - 16033, Passenger - 16023, and Diner - 16048.

Thanks for that. Looks like the only one I don't have is the dummy FA2. However I have a dummy FB2 (no idea what year) and between the two that's the one I'd choose anyway. 

Still, if I chance across a bargain dummy FA2 I'll have no choice but to take it home!

I had purchased a dummy B-unit (6-8667) which was from the 1970’s. Same paint scheme, but different trucks, and the black roof was a matte finish and didn’t match the gloss of the 1988 set. I wound up selling it as to me, it didn’t look right with the A-units. 

Good to know. I'll don't recall them looking different last year, but I'll pull them out and check.

I always liked that set for some reason,,,never bought it,,,could  you post some pictures please,thanks

Well, it's 5 years later, but I'm finally back with pictures of all the cars and a short video.

The "Silver Shore" A Lionel Amtrak Mashup (chicagovalleyrailroad.blogspot.com)

Thanks again to @drelo for the identifications! Turns out my A and B unit were from the Lake Shore Limited set and add-on so they had matching matte black.

Glad to hear you got all of the cars you wanted and are still enjoying such a great set. I like how you added the Amtrak station. I’ve been eyeing that one.

Santa brought me and my brother the Lake Shore Limited set one Christmas with the B unit and all of the extra cars. Still have it! It was one of the few Amtrak items available in O gauge back then and I always wished I could have gotten an F40PH or AEM 7 like the lucky HO guys had. It and the Silver Spike are fun sets and strong runners.

Merry Christmas and thanks for posting the story and vid!

Thanks @bigtruckpete ,

That sounds like a great Christmas you had! If you've got pictures of video of that set, I'd love to see them

Glad you enjoyed the update.  As for the Amtrak station, it's a great looking station but has some "Sonic issues" that may need attending to depending on your situation.

Eilif, the set looks great running on that layout.  Coincidentally, I ran mine yesterday for the fist time in months. 

@Eilif:

That's a good train to assemble, if you can find all the cars. Here's a shot of mine from 1989. You can only see the front part of the train. But I think I had all of the cars except the diner.
