Looks like a seriously upgraded Atlas/Rivarossi C-liner to me.  Well done!

Yes, Atlas C-Liners.  I did these over 20 years ago and they were in MR.  Plastic surgery included re-shaping the windshields to match prototype, creating an integral pilot, paint, decals, and a few other details.  Here is the later paint scheme:

Don't have any pics of my Metra stuff, but I do have this one of my Amtrak Hiawatha.  Love that push/pull stuff!
