Feb-27-02, 00:58 AM (EST) 2. "RE: Amtrak Question" I believe it's just simply the "Northeast Direct" scheme. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Feb-27-02, 07:42 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Amtrak Question" Actually, it is generally accepted as the Phase IV scheme, as it is now used systemwide. The Northeast Direct scheme looks almost identical, but there is a "Northeast Direct" lettering on it. That is the top picture anyway. The bottom picture is a specific paint scheme for one of Amtrak's services.------ BUZZ ------

Feb-27-02, 01:11 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Amtrak Question" LAST EDITED ON Feb-27-02 AT 01:24 PM (EST)Okay, thanks for the info..Reason I asked was because i couldn't find any F40PH's anywhere..Was going to modify it from an F45 or FP45 until i saw that you were releasing one..BTW, is there any modified .ace or .s/.sd files for a 'cabbage' style locomotive as seen above? and could i use your loco to make the skin?

Feb-28-02, 03:49 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Oops!" Blake,While i feel the same about the mutilation of the F40s, unfortunately we'll need to do one if we want to do protypical modern Amtrak. I know, it hurts dude!------ BUZZ ------

Mar-01-02, 03:59 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Amtrak Question - Heritage Fleet" Is anyone working on making Amtrak Heritage (Budd and/or Smoothside) coaches for MSTS, interiors included?I can imagine many people are getting bored with the Superliners and Amfleet coaches.

Mar-01-02, 04:27 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Amtrak Question - Heritage Fleet" There have been talks of reskinning the ESE cars, there are some people who said they were going to make them. I plan on doing at least the 8500 series Diner, and probably the Sleeper, as those and a variety of baggage cars are about the only Heritage there is left! Superliners and Amfleets cames with the game (they will be re-built though), and Horizon and Viewliner cars are already underway. Outside those, there ain't much else Amtrak uses anymore, so i hope too many people aren't getting bored!------ BUZZ ------

Mar-01-02, 04:42 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Amtrak Question - Heritage Fleet" Thanks for the info Buzz.I'm really looking forward to the Diner and Sleeper you will be doing. Will those have interior option 5?And as for the Horizon and the Superliner and Amfleet rebuilds, I can't wait to see those.Thanks again,
