As best that I can tell, here's the AFT cars (sorry; looks like for forum doesn't like my formatting; if you copy and paste to an ASCII text file everything MAY line up):


Diner          207          30-67482, 20-64214
Observation Car          208          20-64213
Coach          210          20-64215
Coach # 1          212          20-64213
Coach # 2          214          20-64213
Sleeper          220          20-64214
Vista Dome Car          ???          20-64216

These MTH cars are not models of any AFT car.  MTH just took their generic smooth side passenger set and painted them in the AFT colors.  These sets had no Showcase, no Display, or correct crew cars.  Plus, the AFT did not have any domes.  The two MTH sets, released several years apart, are pure fantasy.

However, the baggage cars of those sets do work as cars 20 and 33, or later after renumbering as 33 and 34.

MTH's scale GS-4 and T1, on the other hand, are pretty accurate for those engines in AFT colors.

I will say one thing about MTH's fantasy AFT sets, they sure look nice and get a lot of good comments when running them at a show.  Here are the MTH cars:

Here is what the AFT really looked like (minus tool and flatcars):
