Does anybody know where to find a Metra F40 locomotive for Microsoft Train Simulator?  I have found two so far, but not had much luck with either of them.  One, from the Means Locomotive Works (MASW), was an F40PH in an MP36PH paint scheme - I suppose I could try to reskin it but having never done that before, I don't know how it will turn out. I also found an F40C (yes, an F40C) in the trackside productions forums, but I have to be a member of that forum to download it.  If anybody finds or knows of anything, please let me know. Thanks!

There are several different Metra F40s on train-sim.  Not sure if they are the version you are looking for. Search the file library for Metra.  There are at least 4 different F40's.

There is another new one today on Train-Sim

Thanks!  Actually, I found a couple on train-sim.com. The one I ended up using was the one I was creating with my reskin in the first place - F40PH-2 #182.  It is annoying that I can't use that F40C, though.  I wish people would reskin FREE locomotives - not the ones you have to buy!  And the company that makes it just went out of business.  Looks like I'll be making one myself.

If you haven't been to http://www.train-sim.com/ and registerd there, then you are missing out. That F40C is free, however, you have to get the .s file from Streamlines, which is only $12.00 or so. I'm wating to see if anyone puts up a better F40PHm-2 than the one thats on it. Also Kurt's site at http://www.jaysmarine.com/KLW_Addons.php has a sweet MP36 in metra colors.

I did register there - and a good thing too!  There are so many add-ons I've downloaded there since I've registered.  Also, thanks for the tip on that site.  That MP36PH-3S is so cool.  I also downloaded a couple of CTA cars.  I agree with you on that F40PH-2M.
