Is anyone considering recreating this lovely gem?

Or has it already been done and I missed it?

Good question, Buzz.

I'll cull through my files and see which sets include the F40PH as a start.

Maybe the Caltrain F40PH? It has the HEP extension (extra radiator section) behind the engine radiators. Straight "blast box" F40's used on Amtrak didn't have that.

The Caltrain appears to be a MP36PH. Is that the same? I have to admit to be not to up on these newer beasts.

Peninsula Corridor should have an F40PH that came with it.

The F40 came with the Gilroy extension for the Peninsula Corridor

Quick question. Does it use the Gilroy FP40?

Quick question. Will it be SS Enhanced?

Have not investigated the answer to that question yet. Just a beginning.
