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.

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.

THE CHESSIE SYSTEM The Chessie System was created in February 1973 to integrate the operations of three notable eastern railroads that had long been closely aligned: the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Western Maryland Railway. The Chesapeake & Ohio: Among the great railroads of America, few were more successful and influential than the Chesapeake & Ohio. With a route system that reached from Virginia Tidewater through the coal-rich Alleghenies and Appalachians to key Midwestern industrial hubs including Cincinnati, Toledo, and Chicago, the C&O was a great coal hauler, a forwarder of manifest freight, and a classy passenger road operating name trains such as The George Washington. C&O’s acquisition of the Pere Marquette in 1947 further strengthened the already mighty C&O, expanding its route miles to nearly 5,000 and reaching Detroit and Buffalo.
