Amtrak Dash 8-32BWH Announced

[TheRailfan98]

I assume it would be possible to copy the Empire Builder's textures and modify them to Phase IVb like these are trying to represent, but I may just try to give them a full overhaul...unless they fix them last minute which seems unlikely.

I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out, as it's a long overdue locomotive that we can use on many routes. Now all we need is a NPCU...

Something i thought of was if they might use Dash 9 sounds or if they might actually use the right sounds for this locomotive but reused Dash 9 might be used though. I wonder if they might try to use the P32AC-DM sounds as those sounds are a little better because they have a little resemblance to the real life P32AC-DM but still aren't perfect. Another thing is that does a 7FDL-12 sound different from a 7FDL-16 or do those two sound the same.

Yes, there is an appreciable difference soundwise between the V16 and V12 version.

IMO, this is greatly needed for Amtrak consists. I just hope that DTG does good on this.

Looks to be pretty exciting. I can see this being put to real heavy use in the workshop scenarios.

Especially impressed with the Pepsi Can scheme!

They are still missing the Phase IV paint Scheme for this Locomotive. I know that P32-8BWH 515 is still in Phase IV paint as of 6-21-15. It currently works the Auto Train Terminal in Sanford FL.

Looks good

An ACTUAL Pepsi Can!

Now we don't have to use the old Railsim repaint of the ES44.

This is going on the 'Buy" List

The list is endless from some of you.

Well that's typical of us on many DTG products. And it's those Superliners.

Did you know that addressing DTG directly can be effective? Especially as long as you know how to come across to them, without seemingly being so demanding, saying things, like "you or it better" be fixed, however you tend to ineffectively get your point across.

An example.. When the M8's were released, I addressed DTG directly about the lack of Black Paint strip on the cars, which were released without them. I did it in a respectful manner, and even provided them photos of the actual cars to show them. And within 24hrs, it was addressed.. Mind you, I was one of very few to have noticed off the back. But I knew constantly addressing on here or other forums, and their facebook page, wasn't going to cut it. Try doing that, you might be amazed at the result you'll get.

I advise that if you address all the nitpicking and do so as respectfully, ASAP, you may actually see some improvements on the next WIP photo they post. GO NOW!!!

Or maybe it's ex-Santa Fe El Captain stock

Naw, Afaik the only Hi-Levels that wore Phase IV was the Pacific Parlour. (and maybe some old Texas Eagle Stock aswell?)
