HO Acela question

[acelaman]

I have acela power cars #s 2003/2004, 2006-2007, 2017/2036, 2003-2006. What other if any road #s were made?

I dont know. I think it only comes in Amtrak. Do you know if it is capable of going around 18 inch radius curves?

I am aware that the Acela is an Amtrak only beast, I am inquiring about the road numbers of the Acela power cars.

This question has come up before and you would think that since I have that large Acela website.....that I would know this.  But I don't.  I've never been really thrilled about numbers...meaning I don't really look that close at my models.  That probably drives purists up a wall, LOL.

In shows we sometimes have to grab a quick replacement for equipment thats gone "bad ordered" and I'm happy to keep the consist in correct order and composition...no need to worry about the teenie tiny number on the cars.  Yes, the power car numbers are more visible.

If I get a chance to be in Philly on this winter trip to the Amherst Show Jan 26, 27, I'll try and research all the numbers...cars and power cars.  I do know three new HHP-8 numbers are in the works.

Do they even come undecorated?
