[Simon Greasly]

   Hello Again All Simon Greasly Here just wanted to start up a separate part of the Nscale Forums for People to Talk about nothing but AMtrak N Scale so come on up and get busy discussing we take all sorts of questiosn and comments.

Notes: I started this exclusivily for fans of Amtrak and Amtrak only that also includes Metrolink and Locomotives used by Amtrak but also used by other railways do not use this forum for other means unless it is to discuss Amtrak Related N scale. Otherwise follow the standard Forum rules.

Amtrak Rules!!

Kato makes F40 & Genesis locos. They also make a fine Superliner set.

Both will pull Bachmann's Amfleet cars. Older Bachmann's will still have Rapido couplers. You may need a Heritage Baggage Car to convert from Kato to Rapido to the new Knuckle couplers.

The LL & MP Amtrak F40'd are several years old. Not sure if the old shells may fit under new LL GP20 mech. Frankly, it's time the old LL's were retired.
