I'm a Postwar guy through and through and my permanent layout is a 50s style toy train 5x9. I also have a good handful of Lion Chief Plus and 2.0 engines.
BUT...The Amtrak Genesis diesels in the latest catalog have really caught my eye. A couple of the Anniversary liveries are very attractive. I'm thinking about preordering.
Problem...passenger cars. Those in the catalog will barely manage their way around my tight curves and I know they'll look totally silly.
Question...are there suitable, smaller Amtrak cars out there? Manufacturer doesn't matter. I own zero Amtrak and am not picky.
Give me some suggestions and advice. Thanks.

Williams are a good choice and you can find them at a good price on the secondary market. Lionel made them as well for O27 curves not as nice but would fit in with the theme of your layout, also can be had at a great price and very easy to custom paint or anything else you may want to do.
