The Amtrak Modeling Website was started in 2001 when two Amtrak modelers, exchanged ideas. With the exchange of ideas, the two started the Amtrak Modeling Website. The website was started to facilitate ideas between other modelers. Both Layouts featured various Amtrak trains. Marcus the President of Amtrak Modeling featured the Acela Express, as well as the Pacific Surf-liner. Due to time constraints as well as other things, Marcus' layout has been out of service since 2003. In the near future his layout, will once again return to The Amtrak Modeling Website.

Since the start of the website, DJs layout has been kept up moving around various hurdles. Modeling various Amtrak routes including Amtrak's Acela Express. Those hurdles included work, school, time, and time for my self. The layout has been strong since 2002 undergoing a host of changes. The last major update in June marked the first time the website and layout  had  taken a major hiatus since its start. Over the hiatus, we took the time to re-discover the direction that the website and the layout was going. Now that we are back stronger than ever, we look to expand on ideas that we have learned while on hiatus.
