Amtrak Set

7 Replies, 5480 Views

So I found this on Facebook Marketplace for $60 and couldn't resist. The description said it came with a substitute train but he would throw in the original if requested. Of course I requested it! I found out why he didn't originally offer the Amtrak train. The on-off switch on the engine is broken off. Hoping to replace it with one from other engines I have if I can find the right fit. If not, maybe I can get one 3D printed. The rest of the layout was complete as you can see. I'm very happy with it. Can't wait to incorporate some of the elements into other layouts.

Awesome price Bob. The Amtrak train itself goes for more than you paid for the set. Now you will have tons of risers to elevate your next Xmas Layout. Smile

The on/off switch is very easy to replace. Let us know if we can help.
