Amtrak P42 Color
by 1225fan5358 » Sun Jun 09, 2013 12:16 pm
I have noticed this for a long time, but now it's starting to bug me. Is the blue on the phase V P42 too bright? Or am I going crazy? And just wondering, has anyone made a fix for one of those silly "personal repaints"?

You're right. It's too light.

Build your own. That model is so terrible that any replacement would be an improvement.

Well the electronics and stuff are better than 'X' brand's. Xbrand REALLY got it wrong. It only needs a few tweaks, and if only Rick still supported it!! That would be nice!!

What is X Brand? If you're talking about X-Simulator, they didn't do anything wrong... other than the front of the loco is a bit odd looking and the speedometer doesn't go to 120mph.

Well if you've had connections with the P42, you'd see that the left electronic systems belong on the right side of an AC4400CW.
