Depends on what consist you want in particular.. Since there are tons of consists in existance.

By the way Corey, a while back you said you knew some consists. I was wondering if you still had some of those. That could also, really help me run prototypical trains on my model railroad. If not, that's okay, I just thought you mentiomed something a while back about consists amfleets were used in.

The most recent regional I rode had the werdest consist:

P42DC
P32-BHW
1700 Series Baggage Car
Amfleet 2 Lounge
Amfleet 1 Coach (x3)
Horizon Coach (x1)
Amfleet 1 Coach
Amfleet 2 Coach
US Navy Private Car

That was Regional 90 I believe and I just rode it from Fredericksburg, VA to Ashland-Hanover, VA and back (both just north of richmond). Anyways, I know that's an unusual consist but apparently, they all just came out of beech grove and need to be distributed. A couple amfleers had "Amtrak's Empire Service" on the doors which I had never seen before.

Anyways, if you hav the consists I would be very interested.

Thanks in advance for any consist insight you may have

Holy crap I saw that train at Alexandria Union Station!

Wow, that's pretty cool RooRocz (sorry I don't know ur name). Are you saying you saw the specific train I rode or just that you have seen Train 90 because it runs every day through there? I also saw an ex ATSF private car train watching down there.

Would you happen to know the Lakeshore Limited consist by an chance Corey (current consist)?

Thanks

The Lakeshore Limited I believe runs by his house on a daily basis.

Strench you really need to stop bumping AGZ/VBG's old and dead Amtrak threads. A lot of what Corey has done in the past has been scrapped or is being saved for the future.

A lot of this bumping only makes Corey and I more disgruntled and doesn't help with the progress of our projects, it also tends to displease members of the community.

Any questions about VBG's projects can be answered via private messaging between Corey and I. Keep in mind that we don't answer all of the questions, especially the ones pertaining to future projects, etc.

I saw the Lakeshore the other day and it had a P40, two amfleet coaches, and one amfleet cafe.

Sorry Nick, I didn't do it to 'annoy' you guys. But it got alot of new conversations going. I thought if the threads weren't deleted then the mods figured they were still able to post in. I hope I don't get an infringement for posting there. II didn't mean any harm. I guess we're not on good terms right now and I sincerely apoligize. I think if you have a response we should take it off the public forums and talk by e-mail if you fell it's necessary. I'll go delete all my posts on the old forums if you could tell me which one's you don't want them on. I'll go ahead and do the dining car and heritage fleet ones.

I'm really sorry guys, it won't happen again. I promise. God I don't wanna get banned.

Moderators don't delete old threads.

 

[strench707]

I did all I could to get rid of what I did wrong!

post deleted........

 

[NickyVeee]

I'm actually not mad at you... I don't think anyone is, so please stop the self-pity. That's not the point of my post.

The point of me telling you all of this is not meant as a slap on the wrist, but more of a way to guide you on the right way to find out about old posts.

I don't need you to delete posts, or post proof that you deleted posts. I'm just telling you what's what.

So just take a step back and chill... Most of us are friendly (when we have good days) and can understand certain situations.

 

[strench707]

Okat that makes me feel a hell of alot better. I understand what I did wrong and I'm sorry. I feel better knowing that it wasn't as serious as I thought and I'm sorry that I over reacted. Let's just forget this hole thing and move on, shall we?

Thanks for clearing everything up!

Updated pioneer 3 truck.

 

[strench707]

Beautiful, it looks 10 times smoother!!! What's next to do on the car, maybe the interior? That looks so smooth. Will the trucks be animated? I assume they will...

Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Just wait and see, i can't keep answering every question.

Corey

 

[strench707]

Okay, sorry.

Davis

 

[kmothersil]

Those trucks are nice!

 

[strench707]

Hey corey I should have mentioned this from the get go but let me put this out for all of you amtrak modelers. If you need any detailed shots or pics of amtrak equipment (amfleet viewliner, etc) contact me and I can get them. My friend is stationmaster of DC Union Stn. and can take pics of anything because he is right outside of the terminal and goes to Ivy City constantly for work. Just so you know. So corey if you are unsure of any areas e-mail me and I can see if I can hook you up.

Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Yes, I'm a member of the Yahoo Amtrak Equipment modeler group as well.. Thanks for the offer though, much appreciated!

Corey

 

[strench707]

Oh yeah, I knew I saw a Corey on there. I just didn't put him to you. It should've been a no brainer because you model amtrak virtually. Do you do model trains as well, or are you all computer?

Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

I model an Amtrak fleet in HO scale as well.

Corey

 

[strench707]

Ooooh, what phase, I'm assuming 4b and 5 right? (maybe not?)
