I still need to install the details, like windshield wipers and air hoses.
There is also a P38, 3800 horsepower unit, in in service with Metro North.

AMD 103 Genesis:
At one time I had an extra dummy locomotive from Athearn, an American General Electric AMD 103 Genesis. I got the idea to paint it yellow and apply Dutch railroad decals, to pretend to be a test locomotive from GE, for the Dutch market.

Front view. In the future I like to attach European buffers. I still need to install the details, like windshield wipers and air hoses. |

Side view. Unfortunaly the seller only had one model left, otherwise I would have been able to model two cab's, one on each end, like European locomotives. |

AC4000 refers to the power, 4000 horsepower. This type is a P40.
However this is a model of a P42, so with 4200 Horsepower. Both the P40
and P42 are in service with Amtrak. There is also a P38, 3800 horsepower unit, in in service with Metro North. |

The cosmetic difference? The P40 and P38 both have an additional window, at the left side when viewed from the outside, to accommodate the hustler / conductor, when driving in reverse. |

The telephone number turn out to be a railroad internal service number in Utrecht, not Tilburg. |
