MTH Premier Amtrak AEM-7 (PS1) O-Gauge Electric Locomotive in True HD 1080p

In 1999, MTH released an excellent Premier-line model of the Amtrak AEM-7 electric locomotive. These were and are a mainstay of Amtrak here on the Northeast Corridor (the former Pennsylvania RR mainline) and I see them just about every day. They were in part designed in Sweden by ASEA and are sometimes referred to as "toasters" due to their shape. The model has the original Protosound system (PS1) and I really haven't considered updating it to Protosound 2 (PS2) due to its complexity, with all the various flashing lights and such. Seeing them so often, I can say that it's a really good model of the prototype, capturing most of the details. It's hauling a matching set of Amtrak streamlined Amfleet passenger cars as well as an express mail car. Please visit my web site -- http://www.toytrains1.com -- for lots more videos and photos of both real and model trains.
