| Those are not only very cool looking units, they also look very plausible. I think life Like really got these right.

Life-Like's powered and dummy locomotives typically had different numbers from each other. Examples: their powered Amtrak F40PH was numbered 229, dummy equivalent was 381. Their powered Union Pacific hi-nose GP38-2 was 2007, dummy equivalent was 2700. Their powered Santa Fe lo-nose GP38-2 (both "Bluebonnet" and "Superfleet" versions) was 3500, dummy equivalent was 3600.

My grandfather, a son of a life long Pennsylvania brake
man, worked for Armstrong Cork for forty years as
district manager in NYC. He once recollected how
the NYC RR was unable, or unwilling, to provide a
certain time sensitive service, so the contract went
out to a trucking company. Thus went the railroads.
The railroad, seeing its major contracts fading away,
did an about face and offered to provide the expedited
service Armstrong required, but alas, too little too late.
Then along came the interstate system, and that really
put the last nail in the coffin.
