Hello all. I am a new member here, I have recently made a thread at the "New Member Introduction" forums. I model the present day, mainly Amtrak and NS. My current project is to make the full consist of Amtrak's Lakeshore Limited in current Phase V and IVb paint. I already have both Phase V P42s (1 and 67) from the recent Athearn/Walthers release and another from eBay, no. 7, to turn into P32ACDM #706. Walthers is making the cars for this train in Phase IVb, and they are exclusively available through Amtrak's online 40th Anniversary Store. I currently own 3 of the 4 sleepers, 1 of the 6 coaches, the diner, and no baggage or cafe cars. Unfortunately, the coaches recently sold out for the last time and have been discontinued, so if anyone has one or a few they are willing to sell, that would be great. Anyway, I'll put the complete consist down below for anyone interested. The full consist of both sections joined is (bear with me): P42-P42-1700 Baggage-Viewliner Sleeper-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Cafe-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Coach-Amfleet II Cafe-Heritage Diner-Viewliner Sleeper-Viewliner Sleeper-Viewliner Sleeper-Heritage Baggage, and is split/joined at Albany. From the first P42 to the first Amfleet II Cafe is the Boston section, with 2 locos and 5 cars. From the Amfleet II Coach after the Boston section to the last car is the New York section, with 1 loco and 10 cars (it is hauled by a single P32ACDM).
