This pack is a complete rework of the Amtrak HHP-8 Locomotive and it's Amfleet cars.

For this pack to work you must install the “Amtrak HHP-8 Loco Add-On”, which you can buy here:

I made a YouTube video of this pack, if you want to see it in action:

Version 1.5 Changes:
    - Updated version of the Hybrid K5LA horn and bell.
    - The rolling sounds in the passenger view are back. I omitted those sounds in the previous version. However, the passenger view was way too quiet, and you didn’t get a sense of speed. I have no idea how to make dedicated rolling sounds for the passenger view. But, at least, you can feel it when the train is moving.
    - Tweaked the air brakes “hiss” sound on the Amfleet cars, so it sounds a bit different than on the Superliners.

This pack also includes the Amfleet I "Business Class" car.

HHP-8 Locomotive (Phase V):
    - Amtrak Blue nose and roof
    - Platinum Mist body
    - Amtrak Red sill stripe and pantographs
    - Anthracite Gray underbody

Amfleet I Cars (Phase VI):
    - Stainless Steel Body
    - Amtrak Red and white pin stripes
    - Amtrak Blue stripe
    - Amtrak Red sill stripe
    - Black underbody (Untouched)


NOTE:
If you try to tinker with the power settings in the engine’s configuration file, please bear in mind that according to the “Train Simulator Developer Documentation” (Available here: http://tscdevdocs.co.uk/reference-manual/blueprint-editor/diesel-simulation-blueprints/diesel-electric-subsystem.html#TOC-Diesel-Electric-Subsystem), engine power values are expressed in kW and tractive effort in kN.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Go to your Rail Works directory
    (Typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks).

    2. Drop the “Assets” folder in the directory (Overwrite the previous version).

    3. Make sure that you set “Ambient Occlusion” to, at least, the “Low” setting (Preferably “Dynamic”).

And that is ALL you have to do.
ENJOY!!!!
