They look nice with the AMT Santa Fe units but those units are painted in freight colors. Since AMT did make the offering of the cars with the idea that you might want to provide your own head end power I took them up on that idea. I have an MTH A-B-A Alco set to pull them. It does a good job of pulling and the engines and the cars make for a very colorful consist.
...Just to give you an idea of the visual impression...
Oh yes - the remaining cars are:
#4170 Baggage
#5260 Combine
#3160 Coach
Indian Scout
Diner
Down to only needing one. Anyone have a spare 5260 Combine.

Steve- coulda swore there’s one currently on eBay but it’s for $135. It might’ve been a B&O though.
The 5260 combine was the second AMT I bought. Wish I could help you out but instead of having 2 combined they had two 3160 coaches, otherwise I’d lend a hand. That said, I’m sure you’ll find one soon. What are you going to use to power the consist?
For now, I'll use a Marx tin 21 AA,
Steve
