i searched evorywhere and i cand find a amtrak AMD-103 phase-V anywhere exept Ebay but there are 2 bids on all 3 and the price is rasing on them so i dont want to bid and end up paying $100.00 for one wen i can find them for a more reasonable price do any of you guys know where i can find one thanks:tb-smile::tb-wink::thumbs_up: regards paul
good luck, i believe the phase v was released thru walthers and is a bit of a rare bird that attracts a high price! paul
they are not on walthers anymore that was the first place i looked because they were the only athearn stuff thet walthers sold well i better get looking in the model railroaders (i have at least 50 of them) how about a C40-9W NS grey ghost or an operation lifesaver i would really like to have one of those rinning around on my NS wilks-barre division
When walthers made them they were limited run. So you may have to pay the higher price. Or get one of the athearn ones with the older paint scheme and the microscale decals made with the phase V scheme and paint it yourself. I will be doing this.
tough to find There are slim to none chance of popping up on an ebay store. You have to look on internet sellars to find it. Here's a place that might have it. http://www.internettrains.com/merch...een=PROD&Product_Code=ATH-99229&Category_Code If you look for it the product numbers are 99229 (28) and 99230 (116) Just wondering whatcha already got already for phase v?
There is one of the AMD 103 (road #16) walthers edition (made by athearn) on ebay right now. I would bid on it but I already have it. Just did a complete search on ebay and found three different units, three different road numbers. I bid on one. They are decent but looks like you will be paying around $100 for it due to the scarcity and popularity of them.
engines both single engines http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/140-99229 http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/140-99230
The engines at walthers are limited run. Don't know when they will make more. They are coming out with new superliners though with the phase V on them.
amtrak on walthers I typed in the numbers. The main numbers are 99229 and 99230. on walthers They're 140-99229 and 140-99230
their superliners are pretty good i want to get a KaTo superliner i heard they are supposed to be the best on the market i was close to getting one in virginia but i got an amfleet coach and my conscience is bothering me because i didnt get it
bachmann aint The bachmann amfleets aren't so bad. I have some regionals and phase v ones. I also added a few details to my cafe regional for cab car operation (although the mechanism and light board need repairs). I myself am thiking of getting some superliners to make a secondary consist. But a $50 a superliner that's alittle too expensive!
Sounds like my dilema. I need protypical stuff for my railroad. I need the most current locos and rolling stock. I bought the AMD 103 in Phase 4 paint thinking it was the most recent one. After I got it, I realized that Phase 5 is the most current. Oh well. I did see a Phase 5 AMD loco in a Trainland/Trainworld ad in Model Railroader for the same prices as the Phase 4's and Phase 3's. I have no idea if the offer still goes. Good luck. If I find one I might buy one and use both. A little off topic... I really miss the Superliner coaches. The new Viewliners do nothing for me.
