Help identify a Lionel 0 gauge Alco loco

The real amtrak 510 is one of ther General Electric b32 -8s, a freight bodied passenger unit which still run today.  That's obviously not what you have. Do you have any pictures.  That would help. 

Is this what you have?  It's a six axle dash nine painted as one of the four axle b32-8s. Maybe the for sale link below will help you out.

was just about to post this info from the 1999 Lionel Classic Volume 3 catalog, see the post above already has the info.

The Lionel item number is 18252.

Thanks you guys are the best. Putting it next to one of my Alco RS3 locos the difference is clear, it definitely is a Dash-9. OK my next quandary is to find the program switch. I found the smoke and sound switches under the body on either side of the front truck but I can't seem to locate the run/program switch. Any idea where it could be? Here is what the manual says:

Assign a new I D# to your
Command-equipped Dash-9
Command Base ON
Place the Dash-9 on track
PowerMasters set to CMD or
traditional power supplies ON FULL
Set the Dash-9 reverse unit control
switch to PROGRAM
Turn track power on (PowerMasters):
Press BOOST
Program the Dash-9 with a new ID#:
Press ENG
Press a number you choose
(the ID#)
Press SET
Set the reverse unit control switch
to FORWARD/RUN
Your Dash-9 set remembers its ID# forever;
change it any time with these steps
Example
We recommend that you choose an easy to
remember ID# for your engine. Some possibilities
are part of the engine road number, your
age, any two digit number that is not used by
another engine. Write the number on a small
piece of tape and put this on the bottom of the
fuel tank to aid in remembering.
As your fleet of Command-equipped
Lionels grows, you’ll want to give your
Dash-9 a more individualized number.
Choose from any between 1 and 99. To make
things easy, use a portion of your Dash-9’s
cab number.
Turn the Command Base ON and place
the Dash-9 on track. Power up, then set the
Dash-9’s reverse unit control switch to PGM
(see the illustrationon page 5). Using CAB-1,
press ENG, the locomotive ID# (you select:
?), then press the SET button located under
CAB-1’s removable panel. Hear the horn
blow (or see the headlight flash if
Railsounds is off); that’s the R2LC confirming
the new ID#. Set the reverse unit control
switch to RUN. Your Dash-9 is ready for
operations with its all-new ID#.
Assigning your Dash-9 a new ID#
Reprogramming R2LC circuit boards to restore features
STEP 1: Move switch on locomotive from
run to program.
STEP 2: Turn on Command Base.
STEP 3: Place locomotive on track, then
turn on power to track.
STEP 4: Press “ENG” then input locomotive’s
ID#. Press “SET”
STEP 5: Press “ENG”, then the ID#,
“AUX1”, then press 8 for your locomotive.
STEP 6: Turn off power to track, wait ten
seconds.
STEP 7: Remove locomotive from track,
move switch from program to run.
STEP 8: Place locomotive back on track,
turn power on to track.
STEP 9: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate
as normal.
Due to the inevitable derailments, static,
and the negative nature of electricity,
it is possible that your R2LC could someday
lose its setup program.The symptoms of this
condition would be unresponsiveness in
command mode. This can be easily remedied
by “reprogramming” your R2LC using
the following steps.
To program your R2LC as a diesel locomotive with smoke, follow these steps. (These steps will also restore programming which is accidentally lost due to static, numerous derailments, etc.)

thanks
