>working clock in my cabview Maybe we were a little off normal "locomotive design" topic with the referenced thread, but it includes a good example of a digital clock installed in a cab. http://www.train-sim.com/dcforum/DCForumID5/7041.htmlUse the Cab Editor to open the engine .cvf file, select digital clock in the Cab Elements menu. Then use TgaTool to open the front.ace file and create a suitable frame for the display. Be sure you make backup copies of any files you plan to work on, as the Cab Editor is a little on the finicky side.

Whether you create a frame depends on how much space you have, where you put it, and what your druthers are. They are easy enough to do, though, if the space is available.
