@JohnB posted:Page 105 Amtrak Passenger cars - What I find real interesting is that these are 18 1/2” in length. Is that not way too big for traditional size? If I owned a scale Amtrak engine these would be on my must buy list. I was assuming these are MTH tooling but I thought Atlas purchase those molds.
This is the tooling Lionel introduced about 10 years back. They are not 1:48 scale cars but look better proportionately as the reduced length is combined with a reduced cross-section on the car. They went with the HHP8s that Lionel offered at the time as well which was also proportionately reduced down from 1:48.
