Amtrak Bombardier LRC

Description
This is a repaint of Dadangs Bombardier LRC. The Amtrak and Via Rail one have slight differences because the Amtrak one doesn't have number boards but it should be fine.

Amtrak began considering the possibilities of high-speed rail in the United States as its first decade of operations came to a close. Leasing the LRCs allowed the company to test new high-speed technologies while determining the direction of its own program. Amtrak signed a two-year lease for a pair of trainsets in early 1977, with the intention of testing them on the Vancouver, B.C. – Seattle – Portland corridor (today served by the Amtrak Cascades) but actually tested a prototype locomotive and car in spring 1977 along the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The train achieved a top speed of 117 mph, and 89.6 mph on a curve restricted to 60 mph with conventional equipment. When the lease had expired, they were sent back to the manufacturer. Via Rail Then shortly after purchased LRC's and continues to use the cars I think today. The actual locomotives were retired in 2001.

This does require they're mod for this to work, as this is only a repaint.

I haven't been making stuff on my list and so I need to go back to it.

If there's anything wrong you can talk to me here on here if you want. I go by "EmotionalSupportStrapon" on discord

Update November 10th, 2022: Doug and Cisco from the tpf2 discord helped me fixed the reverse unit to get the lights to work

Update November 27th, 2022: The rear end would disappear after 1977 I think. I fixed it though

Thanks for the download! Could you please check the reverse unit? There seem to be a problem with the lights, when it is trailling no red lights and when it is on front there is no lights on at all :)
