Eh, to me it's a great alternative to the Amtrak, whatever GE loco it may or may not be, considering finding one of those is like finding a needle in a haystack lol 😂
Would have been even cooler if it was an EMD type as at least then it would have ticked a British box (our Class 59 and 66 locos, basically the standard British freight diesel these days are heavily modified EMD designs)
I wanted a US pattern diesel in my Plarail fleet but the scarcity of both the Amtrak and perhaps moreso the later plain F-Units, especially in the UK (I've only ever seen the Amtrak sold here a couple times on eBay and never at a price I considered affordable)
