GE P42 DC - Amtrak Phase IVb

@Maik I'm very glad I found this so I don't have to use the ugly P42 the game has, however in regards to the reversed model not being common, this is far from the truth. while yes on the long haul trains they are usually facing the same way (so if the lead loco has a problem they have a backup) on almost all "short" runs in the Midwest and far northeast there will be 1 loco on either end so that when they get to the final stop, they can just transfer controls to the other end. cab cars would be both unsafe (many of these trains now do 110mph for long stretch's and collisions wouldn't end well) and the extra loco adds redundancy. If 1 loco loses power, the other can limp the train to a siding/station. its also just nice to have a little extra horse power! :)

It would be very cool to have this and get the "drive backwards" functionality, but I'm guessing that would take some code finagling.

Thx for compliment, the P42DC normally runs "elefant-style" means all Locos forward. Very rarely you can see a back to back configuration. For a Push-Pull-config we need a cabcar for the other end but there is non for TPF, afaik.
But somethere in the future with a update i can consider this.

@Maik. Love your mods! Would you be able to make reversed versions of your Genesis locomotives for push-pull and double-heading?

Also @Maik. There are some Heritage Amtrak P40 and P42 locomotives. *RIP No. 66!!!*

@Sonio Maybee ;)

@Maik. Can you make this in a Metro North form?

This is the wrong paint for availability from 1991;)
But if you want to change that in the mod folder \ res \ model in the mdl file you can change year from to 1991

Is there any way to change the availability of this? Like originally it was available from 1992 and I want to change that back. Is there a way?

Great. Thanks!

Good news the author grants me permission to use his soundmod. I will update all my GE -Genesis soon. You then need my Repaint and the GE-Genesis sound mod for proper work.
