This modern, all-in-one design makes a great passenger train. Amtrak can go very fast and its aerodynamic design makes it seem like it goes even faster. There are two engine units, one on each end, but only one has a functioning motor. In between is a long passenger car. A second passenger car and a dining car were available, but we did not get any because they seemed overpriced. We installed the lights on either end, and they look pretty good. We do have a few problems with Amtrak. One, there is no detail. Everything is a sticker, and the difference in realism between this and the rest of our rolling stock is enormous. Also, the lack of couplers gives this train very limited possibilities. Other than that, Amtrak is very good at what it does, and can outrun our steam engines any day.
