Building and Bashing Amtrak Equipment

Great to see you back in the saddle! Looking good so far.

Well, I cleaned up a bit and still couldn’t find it so I spent an hour with some scraps and made a “new and improved” ghetto jig. This one does 4 matched rails per side so 8 total at a time with moveable hold downs and ends.

Yes a few hole are not O/C however they are taped together as a matched set and I can assure you that 90% of the Amtrak baggage cars steps are not O/C either.

Could have made these with styrene a lot quicker (drilling wise) but the first rock they hit they are gone. Learned that a long time ago with the superliners and the $10 of brass is worth the extra effort.
