MTH Premier Amtrak Genesis

This was a video which was both requested and which is a goal for me. I’ve always enjoyed the Amtrak trains, and modeling them is as much about dreaming as it is having a fun modeling experience, since it’s a goal for me later in life to travel the country by train :).
Last time I had the Superliners on the layout, I was pulling them with a gorgeous Lionel TMCC Dash 9. And while that was nice, once I saw the MTH Premier Genesis locomotives in the matching Phase 3 paint scheme, I decided I needed a retake with the Superliners!
With the MTH Genesis Diesel Locomotive this set really came to life. Later in the video, you can hear as I accelerate beyond 35 to 40 scale miles per hour, activating the clickety-clack feature as the engine roars through the station. I also decided to end this video differently, as though we were on a ride from one stop to another, imagining we’d gotten off the train as it proceeds to its next destination.
Here’s the hardware in this video:
MTH Premier Genesis Diesel Engine, 20-2459-1
MTH 30-6500 Amtrak 4 car Superliner Passenger Set
MTH 30-6501 2 Car Amtrak Sleeper/Diner
MTH 30-6503 Amtrak Superliner Transitional Sleeper
Let me know if you have or know where I can find 30-6502, or if that even exists anywhere!
Enjoy! 😊

Nice set! I miss running my trains on the floor. I had my couch on risers so my train could go under it.

I feel the same way. I’m planning a layout at some point and truth be told I’m already seeing it’s not going to be the same. The windows and natural background really make these videos special to me due to differences in lighting, weather, etc. which result in a more authentic experience for me.

Awesome 😊

What size curves will the passenger cars run?

[@cmburkhalter]

These are the RailKing versions and will run on O-31 curves :).
