My first real attempt at completly redesigning a cab. Based on Graeme Cox's GP-7 cab with alot of his input. This is a work in progress of a "somewhat" MLW style safety cab with alot of "reskinnig license" as opposed to poetical license. Using PSP7 this is a 2D cab in a 3D world. And - Does anyone know how to get the track monitor display to show anything other than 70 MPH?Dwight.....

HeyVery cool looking. If there would be a pic available of the full M420 control stand, try to do it like that, but keep everything else. Only the control stand would need a little change. But everything else looks cool!!Redfox

Thanks Redfox,
I know what you mean about the control stand but finding a pic of one is like finding the Holy Grail. Tried for a couple of weeks with no luck.D

HeyForget to mention something: for more realism, try to model a bit of the nose as well!Redfox

Hey Redfox,
This is a somewhat modified cabview with a little bit of the nose, modified center window and a few other items. Looking at a lot of external pics of MLW units the engineer did not see too much of the nose and I still have not found any pics of an internal view. Searched hi and Low.Dwight

We are using one as the actual background of our M420 cabview. They aren't hard to find, just locate an M420.
