I am new to the site and proud to be a new member. I have been collecting Amtrak plastic models since I was 3, now 26 years later I have switched to only a brass Amtrak collection. Just wondering if anyone else on here is a brass Amtrak collector from Overland Models, Pacific Fast Mail etc.
I live in MA and only collect brass NorthEast Corridor and Lake Shore Limited equipment (GHB Amfleet II's, SoHo Amfleet I's, OMI Viewliner's, and OMI MHC's). Engine list includes 2 OMI F-40's (#410 and 222), AMD-103 #801, and purchasing a Dash 8 next week.
I have a couple questions for other modelers of brass such as which sound decoders are best for the engines? I have never made a serious push into DCC as I am trying to find the right person/train store to due the conversion.
Any help,info or sharing your collection is appreciated and I hope to come across other modelers that are big Amtrak fans.
