Old, steam heated and in dire need of upgrades, Amtrak set out to replace these cars in 1973 with the purchase of the first Amfleet cars from Budd. This initial batch of 492 cars were the Amfleet I - with a door and vestibule on either end (unlike their single-doored successor), these cars fell into a few different varieties but essentially broke down into coach and dinette variants. Despite the introduction of their newer cousins, Amfleet I's are still in use by Amtrak, primarily for shorter distance routes. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eSiemens ACS-64 'Cities Sprinter' Electric locomotive Amtrak #621\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eExclusive DCC\/ESU LokSound V5 model from Duford Models**\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAmfleet I Coach Amtrak Phase VI #82500 \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003ewith lighting kit installed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAmfleet I Coach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e Amtrak Phase VI #82605 \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003ewith lighting kit installed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAmfleet I Coach\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e Amtrak Phase VI #82741 \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003ewith lighting kit installed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAmfleet I Cafe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eAmtrak Phase VI #48178\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003e7 Slot bookcase that can be used to hold the base set along with an additional two Amfleet cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability.
