Who makes Amtrak P42s in blue and silver scheme in HO
Are you going to want DCC and sound? I uploaded an authentic P42 sound file (Project) for the Loksound decoder to the Loksound Yahoo group a few days ago.

Actually the file you uploaded cant be downloaded…all I get is a bunch of coding.

If I’m remembering this correctly, Walthers held or holds the trademark rights to produce the phase 5/blue & silver/“3 sheets to the wind” scheme. So Athearn could not use this paint scheme.
And Athearn makes the P42s, owned by Walthers competitor Horizon…and yet a year or so ago they managed to make a limited run of P42s in that scheme. I would think they are sold out at Walthers.
David - thanks, I’ll check it out.

David, I checked both my Projects on Loksound Files and they are fine.
Windows XP requires you download with a right click, followed by a “save target as” and give the full name with .esu extension. Left click sends you the wrong filetype.

I’ve been trying to find any Phase V Amtrak stuff for a while now. All of the stuff that was on my Christmas list from last year now seems to be discontinued and not available from Athearn. Furthermore, Walthers isn’t producing any Phase V locos or stock that I can tell.
It was nice that MRM did a passenger article last month, but they failed to mention where you can get modern rail equipment. Any thoughts?
