Reply to "Williams GE-60 Question"

I thought of the AEM-7 after I posted my initial question.  I had seen them at a train meet many years ago.  I thought they were quite nice and more realistic than anything I was accustomed to seeing.  That's when I had been away from "O" scale for a few years and it seems like so much progress was made in that time period.  

The GE-60s were an initial experiment by Amtrak, I believe.  They had plenty of power but were lacking in some way, of which I no not.  I used to take my daughter down to 30th Street Station and photograph the engine facility from the parking deck.  That was about the time that the AEM-7s were not on the scene yet.

As a side note, on my forays to 30th street, I met Dan Henon, a fellow "O" scaler.  He invited me to his house to view his two rail empire.  His wife was very gracious and she and my daughter, five at the time, had tea together.  You can meet some nice people in this hobby if you let yourself.
