Oregon Electric steeplcab No.22 uploaded

Paul put the finishing touches to the documentation, and uploaded the OE 60-ton GE steeplcab, which is the result of about a year's work, between alot of other projects.

Here the 22 is paired with an older version of the OE 24, which will be updated to the 22's current standards, which includes cabview by Bill Hall, 3D cab controls inside, re-built cab and hoods, trucks and couplers, and new texture maps, hopefully more user-friendly.
All-New Cabview from the bench of Bill Hall, of Port City Car Company, greatly improves operating, and really gives the steeplecabs a sense of reality.
There will be some follow-ups to the 22, to MU with, for those long "Valley Freights". Also there's a Portland Electric Power Co. /Portland Traction version in the works:
There is also a re-built Yakima 298, and of course, the New York Subway steeplecabs in the pipe. Keep your eyes peeled! My thanks to Paul DeVerter, Chuck Zeiler and Bill Hall in helping get these units finally out of the shops.Timtimmuir@wcn.net

The OE22 includes a crew from Paul Gausden, used with permission. Although the crew was designed for placement in a steam locomotive, they've adapted to the cab of the OE22.

>... they've adapted to the cab of the OE22.Although somebody could tell the fireman that he needs not bring his shovel to work every morning...

Thank you Phil. I try to make them as real looking as I can. And with Chuck's physics, Paul's lighting and Bill's cabview, it turned out not too shabby.Well, I promised the 24 to follow up the 22 and it's about ready:

just needs a couple of things for the zip-up.

For some reason, I'd love to see those paired up with the New York motors. I wonder what it would look like...

A minor error has been found in the left arrow #1 camera cab view. The head of the fireman is visible, as seen in the left image below. This is easily corrected by opening up the caecab.cvf file, located in the Cabview folder. Use Wordpad for this edit.
Scroll down until you find the Position line, just below the CabViewWindowFile ( caeLft.ace ) line. Change the last number from 0.35 to 0.6. Save and exit. That will move the viewing position slightly forward, in the left arrow view only, resulting in the head of the fireman being out of view.Tr_CabViewFile (

I want to thank Phil Evans for catching that and bringing it to our attention. If you do not care to edit the caecab.cvf file, I've zipped up a corrected version, and it is attached below. This will work for both the Oregon Electic #22 and #24.
