- I'm back! Sorry it's been so long. I've been working on many other things, and only just had a chance to do some work on my models! The Capitol Limited/California Zephyr project is finally complete! Interiors painted, lighted, figures fitted, and locomotives detailed.
Enjoy!

You are only missing the transitional sleeper/crew dorm between the sleepers and the baggage/engines, but I agree you should get the Material Handling Cars(MHCs) as well as the crew dorm I mentioned earlier. There was ,at one point, where the Capitol Limited(Amtrak train 29/30) had 6 to 8 MHCs.
Cool set dude! Nice Amtrak collection I love that train set!
The sunset limited amtrak train 🚆
This was my favorite yt video back in the day…
Phase 3 is in my opinion the most iconic livery specially for the F40PH
That is an awsome combo. I loved riding the capitol limited and the california zepher is a legend.
You take detailing to the next level!!!
Wow, just fantastic work!
Awesome work they're accurate to the every details! I'm treasuring this video, I love it! 😍👏
TOP WORK man...beautiful train overall! Phase III (and dare I say III "b") was a very clean scheme. I also treated my Athearn P42s to the same detail effects...in particular the black trimming around the inside of the headlight enclosures to simulate / give the look of a gasket / seal. My P42s feature the Ph III scheme with faded stripe that have varied pixellated dots designed to simulate a ripple effect of a waving banner / flag to the eye of stationary onlookers as the locomotive passed by.
Nice collection
October last year this is October right now 2020 and I do enjoy your videos
nice model locomotives, thx for showing us your collection!
EMD F40PH also called the Pooch 40 served Amtrak from 1972 to 1995 it has since be replaced by the GE P42 DC also called The Genset these engines are on every Amtrak train from The Builder to the Zephyr.
This is incorrect, the Pooch nickname was for the GE P30ch and also they weren't replaced by the GE Genesis, they were replaced by the EMD F40PH
The F40PH's were replaced by the GE Genesis
They look great!! Excellent job! Nice video!!
Those are really awesome!
You should check out the couplers from Sergent Engineering....they will take you models to the next level.....also they work better then McHenrey's
EXCELLENT
BEAUTIFUL
excellent job!
Hey there, thanks - glad you like it! Yes, the interior details are really fiddly. I actually used very small pieces of masking tape on every single seat on the whole train. Took about 3 days of evenings to do the whole thing - I had a pretty quick production line rolling! Once the base color was down, I painted each of the seats (again, masked, it may not seem like it, but it saves loads of time) and then I painted the armrests, and anti-macassars. Worth the effort, I think!!
I love your model Amtrak fleet
Nice! It looks like the real deal!👍🏻
Really like this video idk why
excellent
Excellent excellent excellent work! sigh. I see a endless line of evenings to refit/repaint and super detail all my old 1970s rolling stock to even begin to approach your level of detail! BTW, the hoses that are not MU hoses are for the coaches. HEP - head end power couplings for electricity.
excellent video, very nicely done on the interior painting, might have to upgrade my 9 superliners, ugh, hahaha. I really like the last shot of the P42s, it was a neat camera angle.
nice video and cars i love the retro livers but never find them
Reminds me of the sunset limited before the 1993 wreck
Cannot tell if you have body mounted couplers or talgo truck couplers. These are really nice!
Amazing Video!
I have the same exact F40ph!!
You should also put all the track and scenery on a table too
Great job! Now what you need is a transition sleeper car between the baggage car and the rest of the cars.
It’s been so long since I watched this
suggestion: Walthers does have the El Capitan step down coach in Amtrak phase 2 and 3 colors and would also look nice on the zephyr from what pictures I have seen of that train in the 90's
Nice job. So many videos without the trains running. Nice angles too.
Those hose's are for from left to right Train brakes, Independent brakes, and brake pipe recharge, than the other side is: recharge, independent brakes, train brakes.
I'm probably not getting the P2. Wish I could afford it, but I've not made plans to get it.
Nice vid! Im still working on a train exactly like this :)
If you wanted you, you could make the Big Bayou Disaster in model form, I mean, you have the right class of coaches and the right class of locomotives.
LOOKS LIKE I'm there watching Amtrak in motion
Adding detail always makes the Loco`s that much better ,they look very well , think for American stock they look the best , more videos to come now ..?
This was the first video i saw with an amtrak train
Nice
I love the Amtrak Superliners and Viewliners/Amfleet IIs long distance "hotel" trains with the sleepers, diners, and lounges. The Superliner sightseeing lounge/lounge-cafe are beautiful cars. On a long two day trip through the mountain passes they are a treat, you won't find a better seat to watch the scenery anywhere. Nice consist order too, after the loco the baggage car if there is one, sleepers the first behind the loco being transition sleeper/dorm if there is one, diner, lounge, then coaches with the baggage coach first behind the lounge. The Coast Starlight with the Parlor car in front of the diner after the sleepers. Amtrak likes to use the diner as a gate to the first class sleepers. Are you using Kato or Bachmann EZ track. and of what radius curves for the Superliners?
Yay you're not dead. Will you be getting a Hornby P2 from this year's range? Would fit in well with your A4s.
I actually have no idea! Fortunately, LEDs like these don't draw too much current, unlike incandescent bulbs. That's why most new models have LED lighting kits. The only thing they change is that they make the trains *much* heavier - especially when you're running consists of 8 cars!
friken awesome, how do you paint your car interiors again, I am thinking about doing it as well.
Man I want those trains I want to get one
StreamlinedTrains, excellent job! The white "towels" on the seats are called "Anti-macassars". Way back in the day men used Macassar oil for their hair, which resulted in railway car seats being stained. Hence, the use of those cloths to protect the seats from hair oil. How did you paint yours so nice and straight? I find it challenging.
Hi! Right, yes, Walthers do make the El Capitan coach, but unfortunately only Phase I and II. I've read that they don't plan to make Phase III versions, since that would involve retooling... Well, perhaps I'll just buy one and paint it myself! Watch this space...
i love trains
You should add bumpers on the dead ends
Nice!!! do u do requst on videos?
The hoses are air and electricity from loco to loco, car to car, etc.
they look very good dude! walthers needs to start just installing those detail pieces before they ship their models. My hands are way too small for me to work with stuff like that.
My railfans Indonesia
P42s never had glazing on the headlight or windshield or any strobes. Those were on the P40s
Did you know the three locomotives train wreck in 1993? One P42DC And TWO F40PH one bagagge car more superliner coaches
how many amp's does your transformer give out
How did you get the 2 engines to run on a same consist? The led engine n the engine behind the lead? Everytime i try it they pull opposite directions?
The use of DCC and engine decoders.
+jadapa2 Or use a dummy loco with DC.
How about a bag/dorm? That's what connects the bag car to the super liners
I m fan of trains..........
wish I had all of those
Where u get em from
Hey Are These Amtrak HO Scale?
what was the brands for the superliners?
+Sye “Miami RailFanatic” Rail Walthers Superliners cars have that nice plated metal finish, which gives them that nice stainless steel look Kato doesn´t have.

Do you know where i can buy american models in the UK?
do the P42s have sound?
+Darlene Kenny Hayes Some of the more expensive locos have sound today, usually Loksound or Tsunami in the US.
Hopefully someone can help me with this. I'm just getting into model train building, been wanting to do it for awhile. Today I received my Phase 3 Walthers Amtrak Superliner Dining Car. The rest of my set is the KATO Phase 3 Superliner.
I'm sure it's an easy fix, but, the Dining Car couplers do not match with the KATO Superliners. Is there a set of couplers that I can buy so I can mix KATO and WALTHERS cars. I really don't want my money to go to waste because I have two different types of cars.
You’ve probably already fixed it, but just in case you haven’t, I’d recommend buying the Kadee coupler height gauge. Then you’ll know for sure which cars should be adjusted and in which direction. You’ll definitely appreciate being compatible if you ever run your equipment on another layout such as a club’s.
@@mikeingeorgia1 Thank you for the response. At the time, I had an HO layout, I changed it to N...
The things you learn along the way when you first start out.
Plus the the California Zephyr had p42s not those deales
Sad that you can't get walthers sleeper cars anymore
Can some one tell me why amtrack needs 2 locos for there passenger trains
Can you give the genesis engine with cars and tracks?
Would u sell anything
Are both F40PHR's Walthers?
F40ph* and YAAS
It’s the p40dc
r they HO scal3
I have F40 316 but it doesn't work
Oh yeah does wtf mean
Tell bachmann to bring back amfleets
your two coaches and four baggage cars short of a consist I have seen Zephyr go up and down Soldier Summit for 26 years and your consist is incomplete. Amtrak and all heritage railroads have cars they hook to the train so it can travel the country non stop. first is the Baggage Car this car is behind the engine and stores the bags. in front of the baggage car and sometimes behind the train is the Railway Post Office Express Boxcars everything from reefers, express mail, packages, and classified cargo is transported in these boxcars. behind the baggage car is the RPO also called the Railway Post Office this is where the crew lives and where the mail is sorted. behind the RPO is the Boiler Dorm Generator this car provides power and steam to the coaches. behind the Boiler Dorm is the Transition Coach there are two on the train one up front and one on the rear they allow passage to the other cars. then the sleepers, then the lounge,, then the observation car, then the dinner car, and the coaches and the inspection car are on the rear with a transition car connecting them.
The California Zephyr had 13 cars not 11
they are mu hoses.sir.!
Aka amd 103

Bro I had phase 3
Wait
you
Please?

walther stuff is just way too expensive. The $80 per car cost thing is something my wallet can't handle at the moment and its hard to find athearn passenger cars that are NOT genesis.
You can still get Kato Superliners for $60 or find old Athearn Blue Box at hobby stores used on ebay or trains shows when the start up .again .I recently found 2 Riverossi Amtrak heratage cars at a hobby store since they are old style i will run them with other
road name passenger cars with an F45 PH OR F7 A
Wow A P40 and ane f40ph npc
