Does it resemble this train for sale on Ebay?

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Amtrak-Engine-with-two-Cars-made-in-Macao-/200975066405

 

This one may be by the same manufacturer.  Seller says it is Modell Power brand.

This blog shows it with KD #5 couplers

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Tim:

This the "way too long and complicated" method for posting pictures, but it just happens to work!

There are much simpler methods for those who are computer savvy, but I was asked by another computer dinosaur to explain it in detail. I make absolutely no apologies for its length!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

I have recently been given a train that a friend wants me to put knuckle couplers on for him, however I have no idea who makes this train. It is an Amtrak Bullet train and the only marking on it is that it was made in Macao. I have taken pictures of this train but was not able to post them. I do have pictures that I can email to you if you have an idea who makes this train, or if you just want a good test and trivia challenge, but I apologize for not being able to post them here. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
