   2 wide AMTRAK Acela Express with service to Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and the Northeast Corridor. Pack lightly, diet...space (S-P-A-C-E!) is limited.



There are several versions shown. Differences include nose elements and coach length. I think my preference is either version 10 or 11.

Version 10 uses 103 pieces total for the 2 loc, 1 car set with a Studs-Up loc. Version 11 uses 137 pieces total for the 2 loc, 1 car set with a SNOT-wise inverted 1x1x2/3 slope to sleeken the cab and a bit of an air-gap below the inverted slope which I excuse as a step for the cab door. I have no excuse for the air-gap below the light blue 1x2 thin-wall element on the coach.

I have not checked part availability.

This is great James. You’ve got excellent SNOT work all through it. I especially like the middle car. Lovely!
