As Amtrak is a National Rail Network and having been offered numerous amount of routes that they run, two of the routes in particular, have a piece of equipment that is missing. As the title suggests. It’s the Amtrak Amfleet Cab car that is utilized on the NEC routes offered within the last several years. It would be a very welcomed addition to the Amtrak Fleet roster for TS. Hopefully that if it is ever made, it will come in a form of an update and supplied with a passenger view. Disclaimer: I do not own the photo in this article.
It was never made officially for TS, nor was it done for the public, so as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't count. And needs to be done, officially. For everyone else to have access to.
It is available to the public, you just have to purchase a subscription to the place that it's available at. The cabcar is unfortunately non-functional and has Amfleet trucks, but perhaps the developer will fix it in the future. He has a lot of other projects right now but plans to fix the cabcar in the future, possibly adding functionality.
No. I'd rather have it being officially made and in full operational condition by a licensed, more established developer. Not paying for subscription for something that doesn't do what I need it to do.
I need DTG to make Amfleet cars. The current one that's out is far outdated, poor quality, non-funtional and the blue color strip is wrong. It doesn't even have brake sounds or squeaky noises.
Ooops, I'm very sorry. They're talking about Amfleet "Cab" cars, not Amfleet cars. Sorry guys, and sorry for the double posting. I still stand by my wishlist for DTG.
^ Awesome. Any release date? Can you please make the body a beautiful shiny dark chrome as well? This is Amtrak we're talking about!
To also reinvigorate some interest into this. And seeing as the TSW rendition, via the SW1000R dlc, wasn't very well received, due to the route it was supplied for. I feel that this Loco, once again for TS is still very much long overdue, even more so than it has been when I first posted this proposal.
Metroliners. The cab cars are old, converted Metroliners from either late Pennsy or early Penn Central days. The Amfleets came later, post-Amtrak to be exact, and merely followed the same body design, which is still striking nowadays. Anyways, with that outta the way, I definitely gotta agree with you there, it would be FANTASTIC to have those cars brought into TS Classic. Seems to me we got just about everything else that runs on the NEC in-game, what's stopping the cab cars from joining the party?
then get fan railers sound mod for now until one guy releases an amfleet with nice shine and correct length.
