Has anyone bought this new Amtrak , I saw it on Erics Trains episode 78 at about the 19:00 mark, GE GEVO, very sharp with the led lighting and chrome body. Although I'm not a MTH engine fan, this one I'm going to think about.

No doubt, a very good choice, Joe. Put it on your list to Santa.

It is colorful interesting Locomotive. Why did they use the Amtrak logo? I have not read about Amtrak ordering any of the EMD equipment and they do not have the ES44 on their roster. The last EMD was the GP38 and the F59PH, both great locomotives. Maybe it is in the future. There are a number of beautiful high speed long haul passenger and commuter locomotives and none of the manufacturers are making them in O scale. It is not a bad price and very interesting. BNSF and the UP are buying them like crazy because of the dramatic fuel and emission improvements. It would be a great freight engine. Just change the markings. Thanks for the info. I had not heard of it and I learned a lot researching. Amtrak rolling stock

I must confess one of these is on its way to me as we speak. MTH’s plated products have really been tough to resist. If you want one, I wouldn’t wait too long. When I called Clyde at Stockyard Express to inquire last week, he only had one left — giving me the impression this might be one of those hidden gems that didn’t get a big production run.
