Have you tried the MTH locator?

I'm sure you'll hear soon, lots of good folks here with strong alliances to dealerships.

There is a very nice set of Amtrak single-deck coaches, each about 16" long, made by RailKing. The 4-pack includes a baggage car, Vista dome car, coach car, and observation car. Just follow this link

The set is $200. Pretty inexpensive especially since these are VERY nice cars. Includes detailed interior and lighting, and baggage car features opening doors.

Throw in a Full-Length Vista dome and you'll have a nice consist. It is $50.

MTH also has a wide variety of other Amtrak cars and locomotives, so I'm sure you'll find just what you want.
Long live the BNSF .... AND its paint scheme. SchemerBob

I searched on "lionel amtrak" (without the quotation marks). There are other auctions selling cars individually.
