In case the news of the Amtrak Viewliner & Amfleet cars by Golden Gate Depot did not reach you, GGD has these on their website now to pre order.  This is THE opportunity to finally have scale Amfleet cars, and the first and likely only time Viewliner cars will be made. All paint schemes!  They will be made in aluminum.  Yes they are expensive, but why not do it right!   They will get made if we get our orders in!  You will not lose money on owning these cars. They will be rare highly sought after cars in the years to come.  

See the ad on the back cover of the newest OGR issue.  

There is a larger thread on this topic in 3rail scale

There will be a second run of Viewliner IIs and Amfleet cars when sufficient orders justify doing the run.  If you are interested, place a pre-order as that is the only way to gauge true interest in the 2nd run and to get to a point where there will be enough orders to move forward with production. 

I am interested in getting a few Phase VI Amfleet cars myself to go with my current Viewliner cars.

Yeah. I picked up a Baggage and Diner of the VIEWLINERs. Got the 5 car Amfleet set too. Does GGD send a tracking number with shipment? I haven’t gotten one yet.

I can do with a couple VIEWLINER sleepers and maybe a Bag/Dorm. So guess I better place a reservation. Maybe a couple more Amfleet coaches too.

Has anyone converted 2R to 3R? The models in stock list that as $30/car option. I’m not sure if that means they will send the car with a kit or make the change for you.


You will get a UPS tracking number.  GGD/3rd Rail/Sunset is working remotely currently so be a little patient.

I have a 2 rail Amfleet coach and other 12 cars are 3 rail.  Scott told me that it was a wheelset swap that I could do myself.  You might just call and ask as I honestly don't know what the $30 a car option covers.  I liked 2 rail one so much, I decided not to swap wheels even though my other 63 Amtrak cars are all three rail.
