I suspect it might have been produced for the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations in the US.

Yes, there was a glut of such things back then, ranging from high-quality models specially liveries, to crude children's toys. Even the real thing; a number of USA railways painted locomotives in traffic in patriotic-based liveries.
