All P42Cs are facing backwards by default, but can be flipped around by shift clicking in the consist builder.

I believe another developer is working on them, but I don't know of a timeframe.

Any chance we will see the 40th and 50th anniversary P42DCs? I know 184 and 46 were released previously, but would be cool to see the others.

Looks great. And realistic as well

Thank you! I'm not personally planning to create more liveries, but I believe somebody else is working on Anniversary units.

this is absoloutely amazing, are more of the amtrak schemes planned for this model?
Railfan_Mike  [author] 20 Jan @ 11:15am 
I'll look into making that change! Also, yes, I imagine they have the same weight overall. It's been speculated that Amtrak has learned since the F40PH NPCUs, gutting those resulted in weight distribution issues and rocking at high speeds. The idea of the P42Cs is that they still have all their internal hardware, just disconnected/inoperable to keep weight distribution the same. I removed emissions, removed the power source, and removed the smoke effect.

Oh and to those units also have in real live the full weight like the powered ones?

@Railfan_Mike Thanks for explaineing where to find the P42C units! I would never had the idea to look or click even there! Or maybe to make them esier to find is to give them 1 passenger as cargo (like MaikCs F40 PHs) so we can spot them in the passenger car section. :)

50th Anniversary units are planned to be part of a bigger pack, not by me. Unsure of a specific timeline, but they're on the horizon

Finally thank you! Will you be working on 50th units too?
