Amfleet experiment

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Phase III, but maybe we can discuss non topic things in private messages? I kind of want to keep the Amfleet thread about the cars themselves.

Thanks

Sorry, ur right. I sensed it was going that way but I was gonna see what you felt like because, it's ure thread. Back on topic:

These amfleets are sweet and are an awesome addition to trainz!

Slightly updated

 

[PJAMA]

Awesome! :udrool:

Hummina, hummina, hummina! You are amazing!!! Phase 3 is looking sweet! What does it say in that little black box near the door? My eyesight is kinda bad, sorry. Regional? Those look practically done! Are you gonna do phase 4b next or are you sticking with 3. Either way I'll run em all day and all night! I like how the wheels are rusty like in real life but where it makes contact it's shiny. Very cool.

STRENCH THATS A VERY GOOD OBSERVATION ON THOSE WHEELS THE RUST AND THE SHINYNESS WEAR THEY MEET THE RAIL IS VERY REALISTIC GREAT JOB COREY

 

[strench707]

I know. Jeez ur excited, let's lower our voice alittle shall we. Even though I'm really excited too! He's probably done it on other models but I just noticed because, the wheels are so bare on the amfleets. Others are hiding!

By the way corey (no offense) but, those marker lights look a tad bit small, maybe it's just my angle but:

It's probably just my angle say dont take any offense. Just a pointer. (I probably couldn't do it any better)

By the way what is that track and roadbed in the pic :udrool:?

Thanks

Actually, it's just the angle of the shot, since i did model them off of the budd drawings. Also, it says "exit" on one end and "enter" on the other. For now they will be in phase 3 but when i finish phase 3 i will probobly do phase 2 and 1, we'll have to see though. Also, i don't know the name of the tracks in that shot, but i will check later. Look on the DLS under track and they should be near the first few pages..

Thanks, I was just kinda wondering where you got the tracks so thanks for the pointer. I'm kinda pissed because my Trainz game started a new glitch. I was just wondering about phase 4b because in some other pics of the amfleets you posted they were in 4b.

Davis

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Yea, Phase IVB and Capstone are my favorite, so of course i will be doing about 95% of the entire amfleet "fleet".

Corey

 

[strench707]

What is the other 5%? (I'm so nooby)

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

Probobly just the promotional paint scheme like the pokemon car and the custom class cars used on some of the metroliners.

When I was little we all went to the Montogemry County MD State Fair which was on the DC-Chicago Mainline. One year there was an entire Amtrak consist (P42DC, Baggage Car, Amfleet, etc.) in the US Postal Service paint schme. Best tour I've had in my life! I guess you can throw that in the other 5%.

Sorry I was just confused becasue I thought you said you were not doing 4b on the amfleets, LOL.

Okay, here's a little update. I've been working on the phase 3 60 seat long distance coach. These were intended for use on Long Distance and overnight trains. Primarily used where Amfleet 2's were used. Although all of these cars disappeared during the phase IV era.

Here's a side view of the Coach.

And for all the rivit counters, detailed and accurate interior.

Fantastic job Corey, keep up the awesome work.

 

[francis90km]

That looks Fantastic!:Y:

 

[VirtualBeechGrove]

mind the invisible track...

Thanks Guys, here's a shot of the car all ready to pick up some passengers.

Wow, Excellent job and thank you.:udrool:

 

[strench707]

What was the point of a 60 seat coach? Had the amfleet 2s not come out yet and that was like a prototype solution? Now I bet Amtrak wishes they hadn't have thrown em out because, they are getting short on equipment now that regionals have moved up to 8 or 9 cars. My recent one had 10 with 2 AEM-7s and was a normal regional!

Back on topic! That is some great work and those were amazing screenies!!! :udrool: Are those done. they look like they are finished and those staircases are magnidicent.

By the way from these angles the marker lights look normal, LOL! Sorry about the hassle!
