It's a kitbash using an Athearn GP40-2 and a Detail Associates Canadian wide cab. It was my second attempt at a diesel kitbash (the first being my Southern GP50 with a Cannon high hood), and it's by no means perfect, but I'm fairly satisfied with it. I'll post pics of it and some of my other engines in the model photo section.

It would be so cool if along with the roster listing if posters would include a "group picture" of the roster. Just sayin'.
There were no Amtrak FP45s. The model is probably meant to be a stand-in for the SDP40F. SDP40Fs appear to have often run in pairs. I've also seen them with E-units, FP7s (on SP) and F40PHs.
