Amtrak Auto Train in N Scale?
Author: railwaybaron

Do any modelers know a typical consist for Amtrak's current Auto-Train? Now that Kato makes the auto-racks in N, I would like to model it, but the suggested consist on the back of the Kato box seems way too short. Thanks in advance!

I am sure if you go to youtube and type in Auto Train there will be plenty of videos showing the full train going by.

Do a Wiki Search, they have a typical consist list or just look up Auto-Train in the Search engine on this site!

All the racks are the same now, we no longer have tri-levels, all the new carriers are Bi-levels.
