Technically there are three (#822-P40, #145-P42, and #406-F40PH) of the Phase IIIs 40th, but 17 of the P32AC-DMs are in the Phase IIIs paint scheme.

There are two Phase IIs P42s, #66 and #130. Granted #66 is wrecked/scrapped, and #130 replaced it. Albeit the nose stripes and  black top are different between units.

Honestly, if Kato announces the other P42s, I really hope they do #130 as well. And 822 would be nice as well, as really the difference between them is the bolted windshield windows. Something I could live with. Would literally only leave 406 as the only unit not available unless done as custom paint.

I've resisted the urge to pick up #46 before Amtrak announced all the heritage units. Passenger trains are a weakness of mine, and I'll probably end up picking them up too, as that Phase 3 Pepsi Can scheme is hot.

I'll be all over the Pepsi Can P42 for sure. Not sure if people noticed, but Atlas is doing another run of Dash 8-40BW's, to include both Amtrak Phase 3 Pepsi Cans and Phase 5...
