[luke1042]

I am looking for a Amtrak California Locomotive. Does anyone know where I would be able to find one. Somewhat like the one in the link below

Scale?

For HO, Athearn makes F59PHIs. Atlas makes Dash 8-32BHWs Walthers makes Amtrak California Superliners. The talgo train was made a while ago, can't remember the manufacturer, but it's no longer in production.

The Talgo was made by ER-Models. I think I might have an Amtrak California loco like that but from an older run where you had to add the handrails and paint them.

Yes for HO but are the Athearn Locos are they still in production because I can't find any

I have one. I guess I got lucky, when I was at my LHS (Caboose Hobbies) in Denver. They used to have a bunch of them, back in Feb-Mar. But they have been scarce since then.

I couldn't even find one on ebay just now.

Good luck, hope you find one. I like mine. I'm also gonna the the West Coast Express one soon.

Google Tom's Trains and give them a call. I believe they are from Connecticut. They may be willing to ship. They have a large stock of many out-of-production items and their prices can't be beat.

The F59PHIs ARE still in production but I don't think they are making the Amtrak california scheme. Athearn has been releasing F59PHIs with MP36 paint schemes because Athearn said that the foobies are good stand-ins.

I found them at www.thewhistlestop.com
They are in California but they have them for sure. Scrolled through 10 pages of google and then found a link to them on a different website. Thanks to all who tried to help though.

Glad to hear you found one.
