the train was going too fast around the curves and the model engineer was blowing the horn too much !!!
the consist should be baggage, transition sleeper, sleeper, sleeper, coach, coach/baggage, lounge, diner, coach, coach, sleeper, ! and if you want to add mhc's that's your choice ! I wouldn't & I DONT !!!!!
No, I am a railfan that has railfanned Amtrak all my life, and they never put the box cars in front of the baggae car or Superliners, unless they are the mail cars, which the ones in this vid are not. These box cars always go in the back.
The MHC cars can go on the front but the Boxcars do not have HEP connections so there would be no way to hook up the HEP cables from the locos to the cars, Baggage cars and a group of MHC cars had connections for HEP so the could be anywhere ihn the train.
one time I was at a show and on the N scale layout a guy had a flat car with one of thoe little cameras mounted on it. It was an Ntrak layout, and on one of the other mains a lady had her Coast Starlight Amtrak set running, it was really neat watching when the camera train cught up behind the Starlight, and *really* cool when the camera car derailed and knocked over the last couple cars of the Starlight...that camera car derailed a few times as I reacll...
some one told me that,they run theses in the back,but I could still be wrong though, i did at first,but then before i gave it up, i ran them in the back
Nice set up! I like how you added the tents under the bridge!

Looks like nearly 100 scale mph in those corners! Out of order consist aside, nice looking layout and loco's/rolling stock.

The track really should be re-done there is no denying that. It's really bad in many spots.

The box cars are the baggage cars, which usually go in the front.
