Pacific Parlour Cars - Paint Scheme Dates
Author: RyanWilkerson

I'd like to model the Amtrak Pacific Parlour Car in the 1990-96 range. Would they have been in Phase III? Others?

Looking to pick one of the car #s with some photos taken during those dates so I can figure out the decals.

Does MicroScale or someone else make decals for Phase 3?
I found the later scheme (1997+) set: HO 87-4314 and N 60-4314.

They're covered in Microscale 87-949, AmtrakĀ® High Level Passenger Cars-Phase III, though you'll need two sets to do the high-low-high configuration:

When exactly did these become exclusive to the Starlight? For a while there, they ran all over the west substituting for Superliner Lounges. After the delivery of the Superliner II's?

Thanks Nathan!
I can't answer your question but there is info about them being rebuilt at some point. I'm interested to know too.
