Lionel's NS SD70

A recent visitor to the S&P lines is the new Lionel NS SD70ACe diesel in their beautiful, but fantasy, heritage paint scheme. Here it is leaving the engine terminal to pick up its train for a run through the Seligman and Paulden lines

Who makes that Amtrak P40?

[pgatonna]

@mattdean1003 That is a Williams unit, a dummy. The Lionel Dash 8 was actually powering that train. The powered unit was pulling another Amtrak train.

@pgatonna Which engine was the horn coming from? It's a K5LA which is prototypical for Amtrak is why I ask.

@mattdean1003 It was the Lionel Dash 8, the Williams unit was just a dummy.

@pgatonna Alright thank you. I've searched and can't find that particular model Dash 8. The only ones I can find are the original, older Dash 8's with the unprototypical horn. Can you make a video of the one in this video? I'd like to see and hear more of it. Or, provide me with a Lionel part number for it?

@mattdean1003 It is Lionel #28230 from 2004
