Actually, Viewliner sleepers (or other long-distance cars) are only used in the east. The rest of the country, including the Auto-Train, use Superliner cars (which are double-deckers). The plus for the Viewliner sleepers is that each roomette has a sink/toilet...the Superliner roomettes do not.
Correct, however, Viewliner baggage cars are on all Superliner consists now. Thus, MTH addon baggage cars for Superliner sets would add to potential sales for MTH or whomever.
