I'm working on a trackmobile built from memory (drove one for about six months at a job).I need to know if it would be possible to build a special cab that the front view actually looked out the left side of the cab, the left view is the front, and the right is the back.Now, I know that sounds strange, so let me explain.Many TM's are set up in a way that allows the driver to sit sideways (makes it a pain to drive on the road that way) so he can operate forward or backward on the rails without much trouble. Furthermore, to keep him from having to leave the cab, there's a couple levers that operate the automatic couplers and the line up of said couplers. (they actually move side to side.)Ideally, I'd love to recreat my memory of how much of a pain (yes. you read that right) these things were to drive and the strange view.Any thoughts on how I could do this?
