Reply to "Amtrak Gurus, Help Me Out"

@johnstrains No problem! Happy to help! I’m also ehappy you mentioned that you’re unsure of the overhang of 16” cars in your reply- brought to mind 4 more options!  Just a heads up regarding these items- For MTH the blue doesn’t resemble any shades of blue Amtrak has used, as is common for too many MTH Amtrak items but Phase III specifically. Also, none of these are necessarily prototypical- if any of that matter to you

1.) MTH Railking 30-6000, 30-6001, 30-6002, 30-6003 Amtrak Set. 13 3/4” over the couplers. Paint Livery appears to attempt to mimic Phase II.  I have the dome car and it’s pretty nice. IMO, the reasonable price for a single car should be $25-$35. LInk to item with pics from Graham’s trains: https://www.grahamstrains.com/...r-Passenger-Set.html

2.) MTH Rugged Rails set 33-6047. More modern paint scheme that I think is supposed to look like phase IV. 13 9/16” in length(over couplers). Link: https://mthtrains.com/33-6047

3.) Lionel(MPC era) Amtrak Passenger cars 6-6410, 6-6411(coaches) & 6-6412(dome). Happen to have one of these as well, Phase I like paint scheme, Passenger silhouettes. Going rate for a reasonably priced one should be $20 or less. Not hard to find. pic below from worthpoint:

4.) Lionel(LTI) Amtrak 6-15100, 6-16098, 6-16100, 6-16099. Car names are Danbury, Temple, Vista Dome & High Dome, respectively. Only 11 3/4” long. Decently looks like Phase III, has Passenger silhouettes.  The first 3 I listed are my first Amtrak Passenger cars, given to me about when I was 5 years old. Going rate for reasonably priced $20-30, also pretty easy to find. Pic below from worthpoint:
