Amtrak Horizon Coach

Unread postby AirbusGuy1207 » Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:33 pm

I've been enjoying the fleet of Amtrak coaches that is available for Train Simulator 2015. But one coach is sadly missing. That is the Bombardier Horizon coaches.
The Horizon coaches are primarily found in the Midwest U.S., but are also assigned to operate on Amtrak's Los Angeles division to supplement the Pacific Surfliner service.
I've attempted to reskin Metro-North's Shoreliner III carriage, but to no avail.

I was wondering if any of the repainters could reskin the Shoreliner into an Amtrak Horizon coach.

(Or is it nearly impossible to repaint the Shoreliner?)

Looks nice but its not accurate. There is a difference between Horizon the Amtrak car and the car you repainting
Officially retired from train simming as of 2023.

There's a set of coaches available here:
http://railworks.banal.net/downloads/downloads.html

5th download link. It includes an autorack, a lightweight repaint for the G-TraX lightweights, and a repaint for the Britkits streamlined cars.

That should do for now. Hope that helps! !*salute*!

Those are Phase I's, not phase IV's or Phase IV B's.

That comes closer to a Phase IV heritage coach. I would prefer to see a reskinned Shoreliner, but with the Metro-North decals removed.
