It gives me an error when I try to start the game with it

These look really great. The one Amtrak A-unit shows up in the 40s with all the others - had to come back here to figure out when they're supposed to show up. And like oshaworra said, the PRR B unit is matte where the rest are more glossy, so they look a bit funky in the consist.

Interesting I'll take a look. And older model, I have to update it. People haven't been complaining about performance with it so I haven't been jumping at fixing it yet. My newer models have them

The light does not work correctly for me, it is just pitchblack

And why there are no Lod's?

The PRR B Unit doesn't appear to have the same level of shading as the actual A Units.

the rear facing amtrack 249 has a faulty duplicate. there is a second 249 listed in the buy menu, no picture with it. and when on the track it is weirdly white and has the amtrack 445 number and some colours on it.

This one has missing models with the newest beta. Hope you can fix it.

Provided one in discussion

Could you provide an image? Thanks!

B unit repaint textures are black unless you use really light colors.

Thank you!! E2 coming soon!

themeatballhero  [author] 12 Jul, 2022 @ 6:57pm 
the demo unit should be paintable...hopefully
SuperJesse64 12 Jul, 2022 @ 3:18pm 
Paintable variants?
BritishRail60062 26 Apr, 2022 @ 7:00am 
Thanks for sharing.
themeatballhero  [author] 19 Jan, 2022 @ 10:03am 
yup! they weren't very flashy
J4F|SkyNet 19 Jan, 2022 @ 9:20am 
Thanks for those :) Is it intentional that those Amtrak booster units are just simply grey? Just asking as I have no idea :D
Jessie 28 Nov, 2021 @ 7:25pm 
@themeatballhero I was thinking something Else but that will work. :steamthumbsup:
themeatballhero  [author] 21 Nov, 2021 @ 9:46pm 
Welk, that means the world to me, thank you for the super compliment. That honestly makes me blush 😆

And Jessie, you mean polar express? How about I just make PM 1225 with some heavyweight skins to match ;)
Welk 21 Nov, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
Very well done on your model. I work on PRR #5898 myself, and I can say that this model and the skin that correlates with it is one of the closest representations of the real-life counterpart to date. The only critique I have for the Pennsylvania units is the knuckle covers and the coupler models clipping through each other. Lol. Other than that, amazing. Keep it up!
Jessie 21 Nov, 2021 @ 7:30pm 
Is there a Template for making liveries? I realize you have a whole bunch of skins coming up for Christmas but I was thinking something more fictional based.
AzusaF59 21 Nov, 2021 @ 6:31pm 
Found a bug on UP #942, bug occures when 12 years old; the bogie has missing textures
JBS 17 Nov, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
FINALLY! I'd been hoping for a proper E-unit FOREVER! Now I can put my Fs on freight (except on ATSF, GN, NP, WP, CN, CP, VIA and DRGW) and the Es on passenger!
themeatballhero  [author] 14 Nov, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
Not my map xD
Tokenblackender 14 Nov, 2021 @ 8:35am 
You should releases the maps you take screenshots on but beautiful models
themeatballhero  [author] 14 Nov, 2021 @ 6:01am 
It's been on my list! I love the blue comet
phillydopey 13 Nov, 2021 @ 5:47pm 
can you make a locomotive named the blue commet
themeatballhero  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 9:05am 
Okay so I updated a whole list of issues:
-Rear bogie on Demo A unit is fixed
-Fixed Availability dates on Amtrak units to 1972
-Added UI Icons for the assets
-Demo B Unit is now recolorable
-removed some code courtesy of Doug to minimize data in stdout.txt
HeavyPootisMan2 13 Nov, 2021 @ 8:20am 
Ok, thanks.
themeatballhero  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 8:20am 
ive got a whole line up of people making skins. eventually i will but not till after christmas
HeavyPootisMan2 13 Nov, 2021 @ 8:18am 
Will you be adding more variants to the mod, like the BN/Metra E8's or a SP E8 in future?
themeatballhero  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 3:40am 
Yeah I'll fix that as soon as I can
KiddBoston 12 Nov, 2021 @ 8:23pm 
GM demonstrator has no truck its just the wheels floating and also the B unit is not paintable
HDV-7567 "Gekko" 12 Nov, 2021 @ 4:36pm 
The bogie of the main tractor, in the GM livery, is not present, there are the wheels but not the bogie
TwoKimli the Great 12 Nov, 2021 @ 2:53pm 
Woohoo!!! Lovely!!! Thank you themeatballhero and doug!!!
Spacemanspiff1998 12 Nov, 2021 @ 10:14am 
thanks, I've been using this username for everything since i started using the internet.

I found that the "Bloody Nose" Amtrak E8s appear in 1949 with all the other E8s. Funny enough the aforementioned "Day 1" Amtrak A unit doesn't appear but its B unit does.
hotrodcan 11 Nov, 2021 @ 7:41pm 
Awesome mod,Thanks a lot.
themeatballhero  [author] 11 Nov, 2021 @ 1:17pm 
@Spacemanspiff1998 I fucking love your username, excellent choice

Day 1 was one of my first skins for this and is definitely my favorite. It'll get a matching trainset in due time.
sergeantroadhouse 11 Nov, 2021 @ 9:17am 
this is awesome, can't wait to see more RR types especially IC death star
HeavyPootisMan2 11 Nov, 2021 @ 9:15am 
It's awesome on how your locomotives look @themeatballhero, I'm always waiting for a new USA locomotive to grace the tracks on my games.
Spacemanspiff1998 11 Nov, 2021 @ 7:48am 
I thought this was going to be an Amtrak Reskin for your F7. but hot damn was i pleasantly surprised! love that Phase 0 skin, it's gotta be my fave. Can't wait to see dozens of them roaming the rails on my maps :steamthumbsup:
Themanwithaplan 11 Nov, 2021 @ 7:11am 
at last, a loco for early amtrak
NoiseHead 11 Nov, 2021 @ 6:57am 
HELL YEA! just what l like to see after a hard days work, its time to do another PRR/Amtrak build with the star of the show, the E8!
Meatball you are one very talented modeller and I look forward to all the upcoming models
themeatballhero  [author] 11 Nov, 2021 @ 4:38am 
And thanks everyone for the kind words!
themeatballhero  [author] 11 Nov, 2021 @ 4:38am 
@doug any idea if we can add to the options in the mod menu for there to be no labels? Personally I just did it because I know some people would like and others wouldn't... Like me haha
doug 11 Nov, 2021 @ 4:31am 
Excellent. Glad to see it released!
modelcitizen 11 Nov, 2021 @ 3:57am 
That's the ticket! Great job, Meatball!
