Based on later modifications of a design first introduced in the 1970s, Amtrak purchased 86 coaches (and 18 Food Service Cars) in 1989 - 1990 for use on inter-city runs, where they can still be found today. Nicely detailed, affordably priced and ready for service right out of the box, Walthers delivers additional updates that include:
- NEW - Revised body with molded drill starter points for grab irons - easily added with Horizon Fleet Car Detail Kit (910-202, sold separately)

- NEW - Modeler-installed close-coupling drawbars for larger radius curves
- NEW - Improved underbody with center sill cross brace details, and hidden mounts for electrical pickups included with Horizon Fleet Lighting Kit (910-221, sold separately)
Standard features include:
- Limited edition - one time run of these schemes!
- Factory-installed diaphragms
- Drawbars for 22" or larger radius curves
- Improved underbody details
- Prototypes in Amtrak(R) and regional commuter service
- Tinted windows
