LGB Amtrak, new for 2023

@Eric_Mueller This post is for Kid-Zilla. I went to Nicolas Smith Trains today to see what old LGB, new to their stock, they had. While I did not find what I was looking for, I did pick up a 2023 LGB catalog. Under the USA flag pages are these:

I’ll be sure to show him! Luckily, my R1 curves protect me from indulging his AMTRAK fascination!

Don’t let Rooster see this! :laughing:

You just need to make some shorty AMTRAK cars

Already have John but I don’t have room for what I’ve got. Besides look at the prices they are fetching but I bet they will sell.

Get the whole set, Rooster. You can’t take any money with you when you go. (That’s what I heard–and it’s the philosophy I follow :grinning: :grinning:)

If I bought the whole set then I would need to smash the boxes !

It this line continues to grow your LGB Superliner pic might become reality!

Perhaps or perhaps they might be interested in purchasing the rights to a control cab direct face plant? :laughing: If so then we could talk about an F40PHR and Viewliners.

Just saw this again! …boy do I miss Ken !!


Jon these are made by someone in Germany, 1/29 scale , so the LGB locos look a little big , but they are pretty slick , and are about $800 apiece, not sure if it includes shipping.
Next to arrive I think is the diner then the Sightseer Lounge. Anyway he is going to have a 8-10 car train when he is done

Just looked on his page, second sleeper, a transition car, diner, a view liner baggage, and then a Sightseer Lounge

Interesting. I’ve been working on this. Hope to have it ready for the NELSTS.

You, Sir, are a terrible, terrible influence! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me today. Fitting with the theme, here is this:

15.5 foot diameter

Run the rail down your fence line, big curves at the end. I’m sorry…

So 9.5’ DIAMETER equals what in LGB radius code? I know Amtrak mods like Devon knows hairspray and I also know that this picture is over 10yrs old.

Eric, Eric…I feel the Amtrak force in this one and if he fails there are others! Soon they get to the age where they say “Ok dad it’s not all about you”

Damnation…now I need a Vader outfit to go along with the Batman outfit that I don’ t,do not, ain’t got!

Ain’t feeling it BD …the boy is waaayyy beyond that stage !
I do need those two outfits to fulfill my super hero fetish though !

Who says I was posting that for your boy?
