Corey,

That is...... I'm speechless. It looks Amtastic! May I give you a small suggestion: Strobe Lights on the roof(the small caps on the roof). They'll add authenticity. I think there is a white strobe light corona on the DLS.

The plan is to have ditchlights activate when the bell is turned on, the strobes will be in use when the train is under 35mph, and im going to try and get sparks on the pantograph. Maybe animated wipers, but im not sure if thats 100% needed.

Corey,

That is a super idea! I never thought of that. Yes, sparks on the pantograph add realism, and do the really only need to be activated when the bell is turned on? One more suggestion.... to add one more dose of realism. HEP generater sounds. Its the kind that goes bloop-bloop whenever the train starts up. I noticed it coming into Penn Station in NYC. The train wheels would grind across to it's proper platform navigate the tunnels. Then the bloooopp-bloooopp would sound and the lights would turn off for a split second. The horn could be heard as it approaches(I'm not sure if you can sound the horn in Penn. Anyways... This is definetaly a MUST for my Virtual National Passenger Rail Corporation(vAmtrak).

I added an engine sound from the dls to it, it belongs to a german locomotive, but it sounds awesome, especially when the electric motor spools up. Its gonna be great, now if only i can figure out why its giving me error messages...

Corey
 
It had to do with the script, i've been gone from trainz for so long that i forgot a few things. Oh well, ill have eldavo look at the script. I wish i could get the loco looking a bit darker too...

Corey
 
I have not modified it in anyway, i havnt hosted it anywhere either. So atm, its just there because it sounds like the actual locomotive. When i release my locomotive, ill be sure to ask for permission.:)

Strobes activate whenever ditchlights are activated, I live on the NEC and strobes go off as an AEM7 passes the station
 
Actually... the strobes and ditch lights can be activated seperatly, but i added the strobes for under 35 so they activate when your at stations or approaching (where else do you go under 35 on the nec..) But its also there so you dont need to worry much about the strobes, they're just there to look cool on this model.
