Building and Bashing Amtrak Equipment

Nope, no wood in that build other than in my pants when I look at that beautifully crafted streamlined figure. However it is kinda Deco which is Victorian.

So going back to this pic and we have 6 numbered items. Wondering if anyone knows or anyone cares which are scratch built and which are purchased (kitbashed)?

This feels like a trick question :interrobang:

Door #2 where Carol Merril is now standing and at #4 behind the Monte Hall figurine.

3 , 5 and 6 look the most stock ( or close to it) with probably minor modifications, maybe!

I shall plead ignorance, having never seen the stock kits!

Answer: All of them are scratch built or purchased.

:grin:

Well it’s a 50/50 split.

2,3,6 are kitbashed
1,4,5 are scratch built

Looks like Wayne was closest. Does he get a cookie or something?

Hey and what about #7?

Wayne was close but he did not define bashed or scratched.
#7 can be found here.

That is me to a “T” close but no cigar…

Bringing this back up as the kitbashed 1200 series had her maiden voyage this past weekend. No pics but it wasn’t pretty. Slammed it a bit to tight on the diaphragms and the kadee 906 boxes hit the trucks not allowing for up and down movement but the side to side was fine.
All in all decent test and tune though but wasn’t happy initially.

I hope you made a box and celebrated the construction of this magnificent car by holding an authentic box disposal ceremony :crazy_face:

Didn’t have to as it came with a box.

Just got the one I was looking for , and Canadian /USA exchange rates made it a pretty good deal!
