Unknown Passenger train

I'm posting this here b/c I suspect this train is 2 rail scale. But it may be outside 3 rail scale. Don't know.

Please excuse the photo quality, shooting through a glass showcase is seldom very good. I found this in a museum in Tamaqua Pa yesterday. Unfortunately, there was no explaination card with it and no one to ask.

Power is a diesel Alco PA/PB, and appears to be cast aluminum with SS fluting applied. Cab number 1963 (year built?) and UP decals. The cars also appear to be cast aluminum with SS fluting. There is one combine, six coaches(maybe?) and one observation.Looks to be in excellent condition.

Any idea who manufactured it and when? Is it 2 rail or 3? Anything esle you can tell us about it?
