I am looking for a version of an SP "Cab Forward" Steam Loco. I've seen photos of them. Here is one site: http://espee.railfan.net/sp_steam_mm-02.html

RE: SP Steam Loco
Do a search on cab forward for posts discussing this. There is one being made but it hasn't been finished yet.Frank Roberts

RE: SP Steam Loco
There have been several people post in-progress screenshots of SP cab-forwards. I recall an AC-12 class 4-8-8-2 by 'Mikkox'. However, so far as I know none have reached a stage of beta testing or public release. Have faith, there are some people working on it, but just not ready yet.

JP24_Fan1:Take heart! GOOD NEWS!!!!! Ones-a-coming! When Mikkox droped off the face of the earth taking along with him a beauatiful almost completed AC-12 over a year a go, it left quite a void, a lot of questions, and a lot inquires in the forums. There are a lot of us who would love to complete our SP steam rouster with a Cab-Fordward.Well ones in the works. I know as I been helping to some extent to supply what information and techanical data that I have. Erik of SacramentoLocomotiveWorks.com and SP_MSTS.com has picked up the tourch and is continuning the work. He is, amoung other projects, working on and SP AC-12 class Cab-Fordward. However he came across some new techniques that caused him to back track on the project so that the final project will be all that it can be and that it will be done right. The tender was almost finish and he had quite a bit of work completed on the engine at the time. This will cause a bit of a delay. He also has future plans after the AC-12 for an early AC-3 Flat-Nose Cab-Fordward, and an AC-9 convential cab that SP acquired when it took over the El Paso & Southern. Southern Pacific had 12 of these AC-9.Be paient as Erik has a lot of irons in the fire so to speak and a lot of other projects that he is commited to, thus, he is spred very thin. And all this in addition to a family and a real life job that brings the money in!Just give him some time and it will bet done as Erik is commited to getting it done and getting it done right.
Happy and Safe Railroading to ya.
