The normal procedure would be to go to one of the mirror sites that
carries the archive and download the required file(s) from there. Not
knowing where you are located, I am unable to suggest a suitable
mirror site for you to use.

I have checked the ELRepo Users' mailing list for the release
announcement to determine when that package set was built and see that
it was announced on the 31st August 2015 --

To simplify matters, I have temporarily made the kernel, devel,
headers and nosrc packages available for you to download --

https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/tmp/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm
https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/tmp/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/tmp/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo/kernel-ml-devel-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/tmp/kernel-ml-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo/kernel-ml-headers-4.2.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

If you require the actual source tarball, it is available from the
Linux Kernel Archive --

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.2.tar.xz

I hope the above helps.
