Amtrak set on FB

I happened to stumble on this in Facebook Marketplace:
“Aristo Amtrak A, B, A FA1 - Full Set 1 Baggage, 3 Coaches, 2 Dome cars, 1 Dinner, 1 Rear observation car”. Part of a complete kit in Lake Worth.

Amtrak never owned FA’s “to the best of my weak knowledge”

Are those Alcos Pa? Did Amtrak run Alco at some point?

I don’t know why you are asking me. Not my equipment! I did think that a complete (model) train of Amtrak coaches was a rare sighting, but what do I know.

Apparently the only Alco locos owned by Amtrak were switchers, RS-1 and RS-3 and a lone S2.

I think John was asking about PA-1 locos, Aristo never made them, just the FA. The PA’s are made by USAT and Amtrak never had those either.
