I am wicked jealous of that Amtrak Horizon diner car in the Phase IV scheme! I've got two Amtrak Horizon's (1 coach, 1 diner) but they're both Phase III and look hideous when lashed up with my modern day Amtrak stuff!
Well, the SD60f is from kaslo models a.k.a. Kaslo shops distributing. But I didn't buy it directly off of the company's website. I found the model at a train show and bought it for $75, but it was only the shell of the loco and it was a kit. So, I used an Athearn bluebox SD40t-2 chassis but you have to do some cutting and filing to get it to fit. With all the building etc done, I then custom painted and decaled it. The kit is a very rare model.
The kato track was laid by a friend of my dad and some other parts by me, because we tried to make the layout building project faster by each of us having a certain job.
That horn is amazing! I wish I had that loco! I am great friends with IC6071 (Adam). I love your Lake Shore Limited, too. That was sweet. I wish I had your Heritage baggage car...Anyways, nice vid!

An Athearn SD60 would have worked better. But it looks good none the less.
