Another locomotive from my old model railroad brought out of storage for a self-guided course in tabletop photography, this is a 1:160 scale replica of the GP20, a 2,000-horsepower road switcher built between 1959 and 1962 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. It is painted for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (now Burlington Northern Santa Fe).

I like this. But the white background suggests it's a hobby shop catalogue shot. Perhaps you could build a little model diorama, with a railroad track, to place the locomotive upon?
