Just some questions for you guys!

Ok, i was curious. Has anyone made the Dash-8 that Amtrak ran? I don't know how much they use them anymore, since i haven't ridden a train since i was 16. (21 now). I used to take Amtrak every year from Quincy to Chicago, then from Chicago to Milwaukee to see family. I always thought that the Dash 8's looked nice.
Also, i can't get my P-42 to run for some reason. I downloaded it off the DLS but so far no luck. I doesn't say it's missing anything, so i'll try to figure that out.
One last thing, does anyone know why the game would be stuck in DCC mode, and how to switch it back? I like to set up consists in Surveyor mode, but when i get into driver mode and drive, all i can use is DCC mode, and i have no idea how to switch it back. I rather like the challenge of using throttle and brakes, but DCC mode would be best for site seeing!
Thanks guys.
This has proven to be a really helpful forum!

Not exactly there was a reskin of a different loco that looked the same in the caplital corridor scheme that went out beta. and i think may be back in the works.

the DLS copy of the P40, P42 are missing some dependancies if you download the AGZ P42 we have directions on how to get a working copy or you can delete the one off your machine from the DLS and download it form protrainz ( www.protrainz.com )

Just to let you know, the Dash 8s are usually put back into service when a P42 is down. I saw one on the Hiawatha a while back.
