F40PH Reskin

This repaint would work on the New York to New Haven route, though I'm not sure how common F40s were on the New Haven line..... If you want passenger cars for the loco, I suppose you could use the Metro-North commuter cars in the upcoming MN P32 pack....[/quote]

The F40 that you have repainted is for West of Hudson service. They are only used for runs from Hoboken, NJ-Port Jervis, NY mainly used on express trains. F40s never ran East of the Hudson due to not being dual mode. The paint scheme is the "beach ball" scheme. That hasn't been around since 2011, when all units (4191-4194) were shipped out to become F40PH-3Cs and get some new paint. Metro North also purchased some NJT F40PH-2CATs, extending their fleet from 4 units to 8. Attached is the old scheme, and the new one (the beach ball is still my favorite).

Thanks for the comments and the helpful info, had no idea they only ran west of the Hudson.
Progressing well, still got a bit to do...

Looks really good!

Hate to bump an old topic but these look pretty much done. You plan on releasing them here? These would look great on Minerman's NJT Main/Bergen Line route (along with my Comet IVs) They look great by the way.

These are looking great so far! Instead of hooking up to Amfleets link them up to the Shoreliners.

Be sure to make both paint schemes for the MNRR F40PH.
