That's just amazing, Hector! Don't think just because there's significant distance between you and the locomotives you are modeling that it's impossible to do an accurate job. Keep up the good work, Hector.

Looks superb Hector! They're perfect for the NY-NH or Pacific Surfliner routes for switching around passenger cars around LAUPT or Sunnyside Yard. They'll be great on the yard around the old NEC's 30th Street Station.

I'm glad you like the model, estimated Hack, answering your question this locomotive had only one paint scheme in Amtrak than I know for the pictures I saw and that is what they are using today.
Now I have a Question for horn experts: what would like to know is what type or model are used on these locomotives since I saw some photos that are 4 different tones and other photos appear that is 5 tones?.

Nathan Airchime K5LA. There's plenty of pictures around on the internet to model off of too. :) One of the GP15Ds had an M5 on it for a while there, but that was only for a short time.

Ooops! I should have paid more attention to the thread's title.

BNSFdude, thanks for the information, now I need to consult if any of you have images of the cab of these locomotives to finish detailing the model (back wall and front wall Conductor´s side), because with those that are available, much can not be done.

Actually after doing a little research the only buyers of the GP15D were Amtrak
AND CIT Group (CEFX). Each company bought 10 locomoties for a total of 20 produced.
Although I must note that the CEFX version does have the high visibility cab (bigger windows)
