Set of 3 LGB Amtrak Amfleet cars
Very good condition. ONE LGB G Scale Amtrak Amfleet Cafe Car Phase III PLUS TWO COACHES w/ separate numbers. A complete train. Please see photos. Awesome! The lights work and cars roll like new. Let me know if you have any questions.
These ride on two four-wheel trucks and is painted in Amtrak's current Phase III livery. All have highly detailed exteriors featuring opening side doors, drop-down steps, and an elaborate undercarriage. All eight wheels are metal and power the switchable interior lighting. Each car has an LGB Amfleet Car box and foam insert, but boxes got mixed up so may not be original.
Any questions or need more photos please do not hesitate to ask.
