John,

I had the same concern as you with those 18 inch cars making it around my layout. I do have the Amtrak Silver Spike set, which has served me well. But I'm glad that Lionel is offering these Genesis locos because it gave me an excuse to find Amfleet cars that will fit the layout. I found a nice 4+2 set of Railking Amfleet Phase III cars, which I have admired for sometime, and pushed the buy button before I could talk myself out of it. Now I can place my order for Genesis and hope the paint from Lionel matches MTH, or at least, is close enough. I am banking on the cars arriving before I have to make the loco purchase so I can decide if I want the Phase III Genesis or the Midnight Blue. That Midnight Blue looks sharper enough to go with just about any of the Amtrak cars. Or I could buy both......
