Moving on to the Amtrak Coach Car. I have done so many Coach Cars in the 200 plus 21" passenger cars for my "Valley of Bridges" layout. It gets difficult coming up with new conversation groupings. That does not include the 180 HO passenger cars I did before I lost partial vision in my left eye.
Amtrak III Coach Car from the 4-pack. (I am not going to make you sit through the viewing of the Coach from the 2-Pack.)
The average Coach gets tan (flat white with flat Earth Brown and a bit of red) on the seats, and white toilets and sinks, and that's it. Now Lionel is using white plastic for Toilets and Sinks and saving me so much work painting around them in the tight space of the bathrooms.
Not all of the Preiser 65602 people are the same size. The woman smoking a cigarette and the woman with the make-up case have tall bee-hive hair styles that make them look out of place with the rest of the figures. Fortunately, I put these women in the restroom smoking and talking. A realistic solution.
As always, I try to tell a story with the conversation and family groups I create in the passenger cars.
Note: I distinguish these cars as "Amtrak III" because I completed the seven Amtrak cars Lionel made several years ago. That set had a blue interior plastic.
Have a good evening.
