The Atlas Product Spotlight - O Premier Amtrak Streamlined Passenger Cars and Matching Locomotive

This run of O Premier E8s and Passenger Cars provides the modeler with appropriate “trainsets” for each roadname to replicate typical passenger consists that might be found on the prototype.

As the operational lifetime of the E8 locomotive covered from the early 1950s through the 1980s in many cases, several changes were made to their appearance during rebuilds, such as removal of the distinctive “Portholes” when the side panels began to rust through.  This run of E8s features all-new tooling to replicate these “smoothsided” variations where appropriate for owners like Amtrak, who relied heavily on these locomotives in the early 1970s.

Coupled with the Phase 1 paint scheme E8, the Amtrak 4-car set (also in Phase 1 livery), which includes a baggage car, coach, Vista Dome and Observation car, is the perfect starting point to represent a local “section” of what might be a cross-country train.  Adding the 2-car set of a Sleeper and a Diner, as well as a second powered (or unpowered) E8 locomotive completes the typical cars found in an overnight run, and the full-length Vista Dome is a great place to watch the scenery as the train travels across the great expanses of the USA.

The guaranteed order deadline for the O Amtrak Streamlined Passenger Cars is June 7, 2023. Click here to find an Authorized Atlas Dealer near you.
