Help with a cab problem – image 1

LAST EDITED ON Aug-07-03 AT 02:42 PM (EDT)

I downloaded The Cotton Belt Route, # 819 Northern Class locomotive from the File Library done by:
Skip's Railroad and
Doc George and
Chris LeeUploaded in Oct, 2001, this is an oldie but goodie. In the README file, mention is made of a right cab and left cab view. All I get is a static Scottsman view. Am I doing something wrong or could the cab views be aliased to something I don't have? (to be honest, this question purports a level of understanding of cabs and aliasing that is well beyond my ken). BTW, I do have the Train Artisan ESE and Lt. Mountain locos.Any advice would be much appreciated.

If you look left and right in the cab, there seems to be a view of what the # 819's Cab Look Like, Me I changed the cabview to the ESE Cabview and I am Pleased With It.Hope This Helps Chris

I, myself, prefer to SP&S #700 cab for larger steamers, and the raildriver 2-6-0 mogul cab for my smaller ones.-Matt, future Cirque Du Soleil singer-Crime: It's my anti drug -Creating Pac-Man comics for the humorless people out there

I found the Raildriver cab on their site, but it seems to come in pieces. Not knowing much about cabs, how does one "assemble" it? sorry for what's probably a dumb question Matt,

Oh, it's fully understandable, just go to www.raildriver.com, go to "Free Resources", go to "Microsoft Train Simulator Resources", and then scroll down to the "Mogul 2-6-0 Cabview.zip".That should be it.
