Haha not even close. The "MARS" Light is always on and spins in a circler motion now as well, the ditch lights are activated by the horn not the bell.
Well good news. My Hornsound has uploaded!

actually it looks from chunkpowers' video of the metra MP36 that it operates independently of the ditches but doesn't remain on (it only started to flash as it approached the station.)

Metra does not use strobes what so ever. The ditch lights are manually operated or activated by the bell.
Ok it seems like a lot of miss information is been state about Metra which is way off. For One the Mars light is not a strobe nor does it turn off and on when using the horn. It is either off or on no other way. Two the Horn activates the flashing state of the ditch lights. If a train is in a quite zone which is pretty much the entire Metra System minus the RI, parts of the SWS, HC, and a few portions of Metra lines the bell turns on the flashing state.
Example video:

As seen here the horn started the flashing state of the lights but also if the engineer chosen to he could have used the bell. Also you can see the MARS light is not a strobe and is always on.
Now for the strobes. Metra does not have strobes on any units not even the F40s if that is what you are trying to get at. They have a spinning yellow light on the top but that is about it.

I hope this clears up the lighting issues that seem to be stated incorrectly and anything else as well. :wave:

Well they're in trainz. I have the body and textures complete. I'm currently working on auto running numbers except for units 401 and 402. Here are some update shots.
Units in day textures
Units in night textures oh yes I did
Front shot of unit 401 in nightmode. Notice the glowing number board.
I've configured them to run in pull mode with standard lights and push mode with the red marker lights activated

Yep. I'm not daft Peter. I don't have an ISP at the moment so the only way to share shots was to use my phone and upload them.

You do realize that he has done so for every other screen shot in this thread right?

I think it's safe to say i've found true love with these engines :udrool:
Did the Mp36's carry township's names? like some of the F40's did?

Does...... it really matter where the photos came from Peter. They're pics.... of work... in Trainz. That's all that should matter.

Yes. 401 is the Oliver "Ollie " Tibbles and 402 is the state of Illinois which is why they're not being set up for auto numbers. They're going to be separate units.

It kinda does, it's pretty impossible to tell what it actually looks like from photos of the screen.
Nice
The MP36PH-3C looks like it is going to be a winner. Any chance of getting this in the New Mexico Dept of Transportation Railrunner (NMRX) scheme? Links to a couple of photos are attached. Robin_Hoods released an updated BBL coach and cab car in this scheme for 2004-06 and for 2009 in July 2011 out on TPR. The roadrunner's tail feathers are depicted on the cars while the locos (MP36PH-3C) have the roadrunner's head. This makes for an interesting southwestern paint scheme. The only problem with Robin_Hoods models is that the tail feathers of the cars do not point the same direction on both sides of the car. On the prototype the feathers point the same direction on both sides so as to connect to the rear of the roadrunner on the loco.
