Ok, I was unsure if this would go in the cab forum or screenshot forum. But I'm quite proud the way this turned out.Now georgi55's comment "looks like toy" would come in handy cause it sure looks like a toy train. /Jonatan

>My mother always said, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!Sorry about that. It does look different don't it, quite childish actualy. It's just something I did to suit the locomotive, the Scotsman cab is way too big, and because I feel lonely sometimes I threw in a buddy (actualy he get's to do the heavy work for me Hehe! )I recently got TGATool2, and now I'm high on doing cabs. It's great fun! /Jonatan

LOL!

>To bad he can't talk! Hmmmmm, that shady character, I think you would be better of him not talking to you. Come to think about it, that is much better than my first try (which is still a work in progress - hehe).Projects

Cool!!! If you want, you can make a K-27 cab for me, and if I like it (most likely will ) I will use it for the K-27 that Jonathan and I are making! My first "made it myself" cab (some pics) – image 15

RE: My first

Aussie Cow, Practise makes perfect you know. I think that the little fox is better of being quiet, or else I would only hear nagging for sure. Like this: "can't I get to drive, this is boring!" and "I'm tired of being your stoker slave!"John, I'd be delighted to do the cab for the K-27. Send some photos and I'll give it a shot. Btw: give my best regards to Jonathan.
Good luck on the K-27! /Jonatan

>cause it sure looks like a toy train. Actually, it looks like fun!! There's nothing wrong with a bit of whimsy, it keeps things fresh. And you should be proud, there aren't too many folks trying to do cabs. In fact, I suspect that there are more routes in the File Library than there are cabs.Good job!Henry

Thank you all for all the very nice comments! Upload might be possible if I have permition to include the controls.
There is one thing that makes this cab difficult though: the numbers on gauges show the wrong value i.e: 120psi is actualy 130psi. And the fire is not animated. So relying on HUD is better. I will however thy to fix those later.
But thanks for your nice replys.
