I think that's an AHM. You can tell it's not Tyco just from looking at the at the 76 decal.

Both pieces are AHM. The AHM Century 424 was made by Roco in Austria and shares much of the design also found on the Atlas 1970's HO-scale locos (GP38/GP40/SD35/SD24/FP7)...though AHM's C424 was not a good as the Atlas pieces.
Here's a link to a pic of the AHM Spirit of '76 Century 424 on my AHM Resource...

the caboose isn't the Tyco one, either.
I have the "Super Century" in this paint with the matching caboose.
Hmmm... however, the chassis of my unit is of an Athearn U36-C since the Tyco chassi burned out, back when I first got it in CHristmas 1976.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
