I was having a play with this old friend today....and giving her a spring clean in the texture and ENG department.

Does anyone have any cabview pics of this, or a similar loco, please?

Cheers Bazza

The original's sitting about two miles from here at the Colorado Railroad Museum as I write this. I can take as many pictures as you want, but this Friday I leave for China for two weeks for New Near. I can take them when I get back, if that would help.

You live two miles from the Museum?!? I hate ya! But seriously, I'd be out there all the time if I lived there and it is good to know that there is someone close to pick up a measurement or two now and again!

Have a good trip.

Now that you mention it, I used the cabview from Marc Nelson's little Whitcomb switcher when I was beta testing the little giant. It can be found in his Sweethaven Harbor Route at 3DTrains. But, of course, it's payware!

Who the h*ll is Zach??? :naughty: Actually I work about 2 miles from the museum; I live a little farther away. Anyway, I'll be back here in Denver on the 21st, and should be able to get you some cab shots shortly after that. As I recall, the thing has an enourmous cab. It's almost big enough for a pool table.

Nice modeling - sir...

Can you make it a two footer too ???

It would look right at home Down East in Maine with SR&RL on the side...

Scott
