Mike,
BDC is correct.
It's a Kato SD-45 with factory paint. I started to detail, but not finished. Still needs cab shades, antenna, and the correct horns.
I painted and decaled the Walthers 40' trailer. EL did not have this type of trailer, but it's close enough for me.
The lead unit is a Atlas U-36-C.

I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop. I currently have 7.0 installed, and this prog will work for simple resizing and cropping, or applying entirely new looks to your digital photos. It doesn't get much more user friendly as far as detailed picture editing programs go.

Here is something with a completely ludicrous background (just grabbed it from some German website), but I was able to put it together in about 3 mintues:

The flash-burn, lighting and various other elements were added quite easily through the use of filters and effects, most of which require barely any know-how at all. Here's a cut-out of the original as an example (Thanks to Gary Pfeil for the pic):
