I've not kitbashed it but yes, it is an Acela carbody with a turbine powerplant.
(It is also a dead issue, even before fuel costs went off the chart.)

Model Questions...
Is the Bombardier turbine essential an Acela locomotive without the pantographs? Being such, would it be easy to kitbash? Has anyone tried? Has anyone produced an N scale model?
Prototype Questions...
Is the Bombardier turbine used any? I haven't heard much about it, so I am assuming that it wasn't a great success. And with gas prices the way they are, a gas guzzling turbine wouldn't be too economical. What happened to it?
Turbines, turbines, turbines...[:D]
