N Scale Horizon and Comet Passenger Cars

Horizon Cars

Introduced by Amtrak in April 1989, the Horizon fleet (also known as the Amfleet IIIs) were based on the Pullman-Standard Comet-series commuter cars built since 1970. The new Horizon fleet consisted predominantly of two basic car types - Coach and Dinette - with 86 and 18 cars respectively forming the 104-car order placed with Bombardier.

Comet Cars

Introduced by Pullman-Standard as a replacement for aging commuter cars, the soon nicknamed "Comet" cars were first built between 1970 and 1973 for the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad's services out of New Jersey.
