Acela train formation help required please.

[ex-railwayman]

Hello all, I am wondering if there is a special formation of Acela Express trains that I want to run on the NEC layout from the DLS. When I go into Surveyor do I need both Business Class and First Class coaches and how many do I need of each type please?? Taking into consideration the power cars at front and rear, does it run with 8/10/12/14 cars please ??

Thanks in advance.

I think it runs with roughly 5 cars,somthin like 3 business cars then a first class car and then 1 last business car,and then you have the power cars at each end,however dont hold me to this consist...this is the way I do it is from what I can see of the real acela high balling the commuter stops:hehe:

6 cars. Hard to count them at 100 mph but they're there.
