The "stripe" style paint schemes would be used on AMTRAK PAINT SCHEMES Amtrak for many more years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Phase II Amtrak paint schemes or "Phases" (referred to by Amtrak), are a series of livery applied to the outside of their rolling stock in the United States. The livery phases appeared as different designs, with a majority using a red, white, and blue (the colors of the American flag) format, except for promotional trains, state partnership routes, and the Acela "splotches" phase. The first Amtrak Phases started to emerge around 1972, shortly after Amtrak's formation. Phase paint schemes Phase I F40PH in Phase II Livery Phase II was one of the first paint schemes of Amtrak to use entirely the "stripe" style.

National Model Railroad Association VOLUME 35 NUMBER 1 SPRING 2005 MODELING MINEOLA a heavily traveled main, two junctions and a variety of traffic make an old standby a gem to model / WALTER WOHLEKING CONTEMPORARY TRENDS in layout design encourage model railroaders to emu- late a prototype with their selection of loco- motives, cars and scenery, to execute their trackplans with prototype-appropriate Layout Design Elements (LDEs), and to operate according to prototype practices employing staging. Because all of this is a lot easier said than done, result often play lip service to concept, and good intentions metamorphose into a collection of rolling stock lettered for the prototype passing through a fictional location on a route that never existed, all regulated by a fast clock to increase the frequency of train appearances and operating interest. Make no mistake about it. This can be a formula for a very satisfying model rail- roading experience. But if emulating the prototype is really what is desired, then it can also be a stretch. Model railroading is truly the art of compromise, and as its prac- titioners model railroaders daily face that challenge from concept through construc- tion to operation of their creations. If truth be told, however, the universal aim of rail- road modelers everywhere is to find a rea- son for as many different locomotives as possible with as many different consists as possible to have as many different things to do as often as possible on their layouts.

Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. This coupler conversion list is our suggested starting coupler for the conversion. (Typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.
