Well, here you go =P
OpenBVE EXCLUSIVE: F42AC Push Pull Test (GE 7FDL-16 Sounds + PL42AC Traction in F40PH Body)
Another one of my now many offshoot modifications to the F40. It's not EMD powered anymore, so I figured it deserved it's own thread.

Great sounds, especially the horn. However, I'm not a big fan of the bell.

I hear you on the bell, but to be honest, before they refitted the P42's with E-bells, a great number of them sounded crappy like this.

Those sounds are a little bit better. The lights look good, and that locomotive is very detailed

Very good work! Besides the desert freight and Canadian mountains route, are there any other routes for a locomotive like this?

Quite a few actually. If you head over to the bve wiki website, you can search for not only this locomotive so you can download it and mod it yourself, but you can also browse through their hundreds of routes. There are at least several dozen commuter style European based routes (or Japanese) that are either electric or diesel and can be used to run these trains. For example, I nearly always use the Sellye-Pecs and Kiralyliget routes to run my personal commuter stock. There is also the MAV120a that I have found very pleasant to operate, and have taken the original route, and created different run scenarios for. You may also like the Solyomvar route, which is related to the Kiralyliget route (and electrified). These are all the main routes I run with my equipment.

Oh, I missed one. Hard to find, but the Edinburgh - Aberdeen line is a nice long 2 hour diesel passenger run that you could use for this as well. Takes a lot of patience to run that one, imo, especially if you want to be extremely realistic and follow the speed limit signs to the marker.

EDIT: How could I omit this one? If you can find both of the websites, the Holland based routes are VERY long and VERY fun to run. They are all electrified, but you can obviously operate diesel stock on them if you wish to. There are, I believe, a dozen or so routes in total, and all together, they'll give you about.... AT LEAST 24 hours of non stop game play.

Yeah I have to download a lot more routes, I've stopped following the new released on the bve routes wiki lately.

So while you guys wait for more Dash 8 work to come out, here's a filler video of the F42AC Shoving 12 Cars along the Edinborough - Aberdeen route in Scotland.
