For a ~real~ old timer, look for a Northwestern (or Nor-West) General. Available in HO I got one to build a diorama around. Maybe this winter. It came in either a whole train or individual cars and generally aren't too pricey.

That AMT/Ertl logo is 1990ish, pretty sure the kit is older.

Wasn't it originally an MPC kit in '60s or so?

Sounds right...and I seem to recall it being one of the higher prizes from their Golden rewards tokens.

Goes back to MPC at least 1980. I'm thinking the '60s tho.

From what I recall it came out in the late 1960s at about $12 for the kit when first released. Ah, the joy of waiting a few years if you have the space to store it!
