It looks really good. Will you be repainting into any other numbers? ChrisAmtrak P42 repaint – image 4

Robert,Will you be releasing any more phase V P42's? Maybe in the similar scheme (wide blue on the bottom) as mg1232's #62. I'd download the 62, but I think the blue is too light and it won't match with the other units I have (yours btw). Also, although I don't think it is possible without a new shape and a lot of extra work, it would be cool to have an Automatic Train Stop shoe on the engineers side leading axle of one of the P42's. I've posted a pic of the shoe if you are not familiar with it. This is used on the 90mph sections of the Southwest Chief and San Diegan/Surfliners. On the second pic look to the lead axle and you'll see it.Amtrak P42 repaint – image 9

Actually I never wanted to upload the paint job... If I did you would have gotten an email asking for permission.
But lets let bygones be bygones eh.
