Description

Product Information

To upgrade its elderly fleet of cars, some in service since the late 1940s, Amtrak took delivery of its first all-new Amfleet I cars in 1975 for inter-city service in the close clearances of the eastern US. Based on the Budd-built Metroliner, nearly 500 coach and food service cars were delivered by 1978. Starting in 1981, new Amfleet II coaches and lounges were introduced especially for long-distance trains. Both types are still in service today! Fully assembled and ready for service, each WalthersProto replica features:
  • Correct body profile with fine corrugations
  • Trucks with brake shoe and other details
  • Factory-installed LED lighting
  • Highly detailed underbody equipment
  • Centersill and cross bracing on underframe
  • Real metal finish simulates stainless steel
  • Factory-Installed grab irons
  • Paint color-matched to Amtrak standards
  • Window gasket details
  • Prototypical "smoked glass" windows
  • Car number and letterboard decals
  • Correct turned metal RP-25 36" wheelsets
  • Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
    • PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
