Auto Credit Based on realSavageMan's Amtrak Superliner

This is one of the 21 GE Genesis P40DC diesel-electric locomotives that VIA Rail Canada has owned and operated since 2001. These locomotives generate 4,000 horsepower and have a maximum speed of 103 mph. Originally a feature of the GE Genesis line and built in 1993, they were initially used by Amtrak before VIA Rail acquired its fleet. VIA Rail's units are equipped with a nose-mounted spotlight and standard/emergency horns. This amazing unit features: lights to blind your friends (AG-8), a maximum speed of ungodly proportions, a working horn (AG-1), those flashing lights that I don't remember the name of (AG-2/3), and rear lights (AG-4).

    Surprised how unpopular this build is compared to my others. Maybe once it's scaled down, I can add matching LRC CARS, yes, BOMBARDIER LRC RAILCARS, or even RENAISSANCE COACHES!

    @Boeing727200F mind scaling the model down to 0.8 from its current size (1.00) would be much appreciated :3

    Please note there's quite a few inconsistencies on this train especially with centering parts
