Sorry Mark, you and I are polar opposites when it comes to taste in trains. No Pennsy for me, but Amtrak is right in my wheel house.

Start with a little Amtrak California...

Then my fave, the Empire Builder.

My early Amtrak rainbow Empire Builder

There isn't enough space on the web to show all my Amtrak.  I grew up riding Amtrak long distance with the exception of the Southern Crescent in 1973.  In O scale alone I have 27 passenger cars, all but 3 scale length, and 20 locomotives or 21 if you include GG1 4935. 

In HO I have only 5 Amtrak locomotives, but at least 20 cars while having close the same in N.

Does Rainbow era count?  Numbers go up from there.  Lol.

8/31/17   today's theme is :    B&O,   C&O,   and WM....

I Got that!
