WalthersProto 920-12207, HO Scale 85ft Amfleet I 84-Seat Coach, Amtrak® Phase III, w LED Interior Lighting

Walthers Item #: 920-12207

To upgrade its elderly fleet of cars, some in service since the late 1940s, Amtrak took delivery of its first all-new Amfleet I cars in 1975 for inter-city service in the close clearances of the eastern US. Based on the Budd-built Metroliner, nearly 500 coach and food service cars were delivered by 1978. Starting in 1981, new Amfleet II coaches and lounges were introduced especially for long-distance trains. Both types are still in service today! Fully assembled and ready for service, each WalthersProto replica features:

• Correct body profile with fine corrugations


• Factory-installed constant-intensity LED interior lighting


• Trucks with brake shoe and other details


• Highly detailed underbody equipment


• Centersill and cross bracing on underframe


• Real metal finish simulates stainless steel


• Factory-Installed grab irons


• Paint color-matched to Amtrak standards


• Window gasket details


• Prototypical "smoked glass" windows


• Car number and letterboard decals


• Correct turned metal RP-25 36" wheelsets


• Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers

*PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
