Reply to "Approximate year of mfg..or how to use serial # of my LIONEL AMTRAK #960 GE60"

I have several new, old stock, unbuilt Williams E60 kits.
As has already been written, the kits came with the cab, pantographs, cab trim, and a frame.
The frame was punched out to accept two Lionel Geep motors.
Also included was an adapter plate to allow the owner to use a dummy truck to make a single motored loco.
The customer had to provide the motor truck(s), battery cover / fuel tank, and the e-unit.
Not certain about the light sockets / bulbs. I'd have to check one of the kits.

This engine was covered in the Greenberg book on Williams trains.
Some of the information in the book is a bit sketchy, but it is the only reference out there that I know of.
It can be rather hard to find.

According to the book, I think there is a variation in how the Amtrak locomotive was decorated. I will try to check the details later.
