and feel that it says what needs to be stated about these items the best.
Thanks for the mini history

"When Amtrak took over U.S. long distance and intercity passenger transportation in 1971, they were faced with an aging roster of dissimilar equipment from dozens of different railroads. The greatest shortage, after motive power, was in coaches for medium distance intercity runs. Also on Amtrak's mind was conversion from steam heat to electric Head End Power. With these needs in mind, in 1975 they began takng delivery of 492 "Amfleet I" cars.

This rolling stock design was developed quickly, adapted from the "Metroliner" EMU of 1967. The cars came in two types, coaches originally refered to as "Amcoaches", and food service cars, called "Amcafes" and "Amdinettes". In later years, the special names were dropped, and the cars were simply referred to as Coach, Cafe, and Dinette. Their tin-can-like rounded stainless steel sides soon earned the Amfleet the nickname "Amcans".

The Amfleet I cars are the only Amtrak equipment to wear all five of Amtrak's general service paint schemes."

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
