Up for sale is a gorgeous set of original Amtrak Budd-style passenger cars from the late 1970's. This hard-to-find series of Amtrak passenger cars are all low-mileage units and look fantastic. Below is a summary of the set:

  • The set consists of the following items:
    • 8868 powered baggage car
    • 8869 non-powered passenger car
    • 8870 non-powered passenger car
    • 8871 non-powered baggage car
  • Each passenger car shell is in near-new condition with absolutely pristine exterior colors along with perfect Amtrak decorations.
  • The only reason the set is graded an 8+ and not higher is each frame has the slightest hint of some minor oxidation starting on their bases.
  • The 8868 motorized unit has been fully cleaned, serviced, tested and runs flawlessly.
  • All interior lights work properly.
  • All pilots are complete and not damaged plus all functional couplers do work properly.
  • All of the original boxes are complete, clean and free of writing, tape and tears but each has a hint of some staining or aging on the exterior. Additionally, each box has both original interior styrofoam inserts along with the shipping bag for each car.
  • The 8868 powered unit has the original warranty card and Service Station listing.

Don't miss out on an opportunity to purchase a prototypical-looking and near-new Amtrak Budd series passenger car set from the late 1970's -- you will not be disappointed!
