New release - Metro North Genesis (PC32 AC-DM)

I noticed that the ACS-64 sounds when at low speeds is gone.

this is the P32 thread...

I bought this mainly because of the push -pull facility offered by the Shoreliner Cab Car.

The Cab Car and coaches are excellent and the great news is that this Shoreliner set seems to work with most US locos, including the electric AEM 7 and ACS-64 ( including the in cab signalling ) . Therefore the possibility for "substitute " push pull " sets for Amtrak, NJT and SEPTA trains with suitable repaints is very good. There are a few minor bugs surrounding the ditch light etc, but on the whole this part of the package is good.

However the real bad news is that the P32 loco still emits diesel sounds and smoke when in d.c. third rail mode.
This is most disconcerting when underground in Grand central Station. After all, the need to eliminate diesel emmissions underground was the reason that the P32 was designed with dual mode in the first place !

I hope I'm not one of those people who habitually whine at DTG , but this is not just a minor texture niggle, but a major flaw if I am correct. It was sold as a dual mode loco. It is not !

Also from experience with many other DTG products fom the RSC King class to the Kawasaki M8 and NEC route, I don't suppose any bugs will be corrected any time soon.

However, I have found a small "improvement" can be made with the P32. When in d.c. mode, if you shut down the P32 loco from the cab car and then start it up again from the cab car ( keep trying and use the green engine start button on the HUD ), the loco starts eventually . It still has the diesel engine sound even though it is set to run on d.c. power from the third rail, but the diesel smoke from the exhausts should have disappeared.
A small improvement, especially in the air quality for passengers at GCT !

I now prefer to run the Shoreliner set away from the third rail and "under the wires" with an AEM 7 or ACS-64 as the loco. A very nice set up, if not strictly correct

Does anyone know how to stop it from going into emergency?

The dead man's control requires you to touch some control every ninety seconds or it goes into emergency if I remember correctly.

If you want to avoid it altogether, you may toggle it off, by pressing CTRL + D, and CTRL + F.

This is necessary if you're trying to take the P32AC-DM anywhere off of the New Haven Line DLC.
