These are the Bombardier passenger cars. AZL has been offering these for Z
scale since about 2003. They are great sets! Currently AZL offers the
following: Metrolink, Coaster, Sounder, Dallas TRE, and the Canadian West Coast
Express. Dealers are selling these sets for an economical price range of
$334.00 - $350.00 for the set (locomotive and four cars. Note, the fourth car is
a cab control car and different from the other three).

AZL is also offer the Amtrak West Cost Express and Amtrak California sets.
These cars are double decker cars, but differ between the sets. Each set
also contains a cab control car. The price range is $395.00 - $415.00 from
dealers.
