Reply to "What would be a prototypical MTH Amtrak Diesel/electric for my Amtrak consists?"

@GG1 4877 Thanks! My Dash-9 is in the Pepsi Can Scheme, but, as I unfortunately learned after buying it, Amtrak didn't use a Dash 9. I've always wanted an F40PH and almost got one this past December, however, the offerings at the store I was at all had special paint schemes(Dells Hiawatha, anniversary editions,etc....) when I want the standard phase III or IV. @Maxrailroad thanks! The only thing holding me back from the Amtrak Genesis is that I already have the Nicholas Smith Exclusive Premier NJ Transit Genesis- at the same time it's a great engine and proven to work well. AEM-7 would be awesome, I have one that's a proto 1 and a phase IV dummy. 

Definite "no" to the F59PHi? I know they're primarily associated with surfliners but I've seen them with Amfleets and I think Horizons. Really, all of your suggestions are great and there's enough paint schemes out there for each that they'd fit any2 of the 3 Amtrak consists I have. Also, Ido combine the MTH Amfleets in with the Horizons occasionally. 

 

Thanks again for the feedback!
