I have greatly enjoyed John Peterson's excellent U23 model...... and what better way to heighten the enjoyment than to cruise in a custom cab. Still have a little minor "tweaking" to do to get everything "just so".....and a little cosmetic touching-up, but otherwise, fully functional.TIP: Here's a neat trick I used when trying to decide just how much of my own loco would be visible through the windshield........ Edit the coordinates in the eng file for the heads-out display - so that when you press the arrow for heads-out, it pops you through the front of the windshield instead of the side window......then take a screen grab.Photos of the original repaint previously posted at: http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumlD8/3169.html http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumlD8/3161.html
Yeah, pretty cool. Sort of looks like "japimation," but the angled parts are very nice. I could get used to it (after I painted over the calender to keep the wife from getting after me. . . ) Good work!Clayton
Very nice! It looks "cartoonish" rather than photorealistic, but I like it just the same. Do you think that you can do a version without the engine hood and hand rail visible, so I can use it on other locomotives? Mike Karlik
Neglected to display this on original posting......but the reason I placed the monitor on the front console.....gives me a good place to put my "Switch" driving aid, and still have it look as if it belongs in the scene.
ummmmmm.....couldja leave the REALLY HOT calendar out of the final release?Uncle Charlie, UCRail Co."If Bombur doesen't get that letter to you, I shall raost him!"-Gandalf, Fellowship of the Ring
I seem to remember saying something about melting all the butter in Mr. Barliman Butterber, proprietor of the Prancing Pony in Bree, if he failed to deliver a certain missive to a Mr. Underhill, from The Shire, upon his arrival at said establishment. I fail utterly to recall any instance of a letter given to Bombur, of the Company of the late Thorin Oakanshield on any occasion...but than again, perhaps my love of the Halfling's Leaf ha dimmed my wits.LOLGandalf
