BVE: Amtrak Electric and Coach

[smace]

I needed some rolling stock for the Penn Station project. Uwe Pose gave me permission to repaint one of his coaches and his DB120 electric. Seen here in the current version of Penn Station (Track 6)



These are now at my download site

This is painted and labeled as an AEM7, although it is not one. I may repaint one for NJ Transit and Metro North. I wonder what this would look like in the old McGinnis New Haven paint scheme?

Nice repaints but all of them are nothing like they're real-life counterpart (if they even have one). New Haven RR and Metro North don't have AEM-7s and NJT has ALP44s not AEM7s.

They're still nice repaints though.

Thanks for the photos, will use them to do another set. I do not have an AEM7 or ALP44 to repaint. the New haven is pure fun, never existed. I line the two paint schemes you showed. Simple and good looking.

Many thanks to tydev417 for the updated photos. I am done with this set and will upload The whole collection here at Train-sim and to my site this weekend. Here they all are posing for a family photo



They are, left to right:
Old Amtrak
New Amtrak
New NJT
Old NJT
Metro North
Clasic Hew Haven

Note: toi my knowledge, neither the DB 120 or a locomotive derived from it ever ran in the US, so these are all made up. I like the Classic New haven best, then the Old Amtrak. I can see why Amtrak and NJT like the new schemes, they are simple and look very good.
thank you all for the comments

I travelled your PennStation route and it is marvelous to see what can be done in such a small space. Nicely done!

Found these on a TGV Website. Are they of use to you, maybe?
