Ed: <br /> <br />The Road Railers that you're seeing on the rear of those Amtrak trains are available in HO from Bowser (http://www.bowser-trains.com/hocars/roadrail/roadrail.htm), including the ones with the side doors painted in the Amtrak phase 4 scheme (wide blue stripe). Bowser makes a Coupler Mate that allows you to couple a string of the Road Railers to the rear of your last passenger car. BTW, the Durango Press cars are based on an earlier prototype that was 40 ft. in length. The Bowser Road Railers are based on a 53 ft. prototype made by Wabash National. If no shops in the Richmond area keep stock, and you're willing to mail order, I recommend Becker's in the Twin Cities (members.aol.com/wcbecker). Good luck modeling the Amtrak trains. I rode one to DC in July. (We even overtook the Juice Train in the former Potomac Yard area.)
