Here's some suggestions for you. I agree with FTHunder11 lead with atleast one p42, athearn makes them and they also come in dummy. Most amtrak trains run two engines now one for actually moving the train and one to power the hep for the electricty and other features in the cars trailing behind it. Then it's a long line of superliners pick and choose which ones you like. Most likely a transitional sleeper first than the sky's the limit. After the superliners then it's just auto carriers after that. Since this is the longest train at over a mile you'll juts have to figure out how long your layout can handle. In the walthers 2004 catalog the auto carriers are on page 110. <br /> <br />If you plan to modeling a station the only extra thing you need is a couple stub end tracks with a auto unloader which I believe walthers makes. <br /> <br />Good Luck and post some pictures I would love to see the train when your done. I actually tried to put one into my plan butt my room wasn't large enough.
