Scott's Amtrak Empire Builder and Milwaukee Road Twin Cities Hiawatha

Filmed on the Yellowstone Valley Model Railroad Club's layout, located in Billings, MT.
Two passenger trains belonging to YYMRC member Scott Benson. The first is a representation of Amtrak's Empire Builder of the late 1990's. Locomotives are Kato F40PH's equipped with Digitrax sound decoders with a custom sound scheme. The Superliners and express cars are Walthers.
The second train is a representation of Milwaukee Road's famous Twin Cities Hiawatha that operated between Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul circa 1952. Locomotives are sound equipped Intermountain FP7's, accurate for the train, and the cars are also from Walthers.

@JIMBOSKI58 There was only one dining car on the train. The Phase IV and IVb have the the Seattle coaches in between the Dining Car and Sightseer Lounge.

Hate to be a purist but you had 2 diners instead of the usual 1. The Phase III consist usually had a lounge car behind the diner. Nice job.
