White House Christmas Tree Amtrak layout

Where can I get the White House Christmas Tree Amtrak layout? Can the two locomotives be plugged end-to-end, or does one of them have to be a non-powered unit?

Thanks!

Gotta link?

Any guess as to what scale it is?

Just a guess, but IIRC Amtrak was offering some licensed model railroad items. There’s a possibility that’s it.

It is G scale {122.5} and includes two GE Genesis P42 locos, 4 single level Amfleet passenger cars and a cafe car.

Here are some links:

You CAN buy simple Amtrack HO Scale stuff, such as a P42DC loco and some cars:

Thanks for the info. I own some of the Amtrak HO stuff already. I was hoping to find out where I might be able to get the G scale stuff but it appears to be one-off or a custom kitbash job.
