I need to apologize. I was doing it on the fly earlier.
You will need Shape File Manager.

I have played with these files from BLLW for last couple of nights. I have found that if you open the file with shape file manager and go to edit .s file, under that find the animations at the end of the file and edit
anim_node MirrorLeft1 (
controllers ( 1
linear_pos ( 2
linear_key ( 0 -0.014 2.3 4.5 )
linear_key ( 1 -0.014 2.3 6.73 ) If you want no crew you can leave it as is or change 'linear_pos' to 1 and delete 'linear_key ( 1 -0.014 2.3 6.73 )'. To show the crew change 'linear_pos' to 1 and delete 'linear_key ( 0 -0.014 2.3 4.5 )'

Your quit welcome. As a side note this is for OpenRails as they show the crew in shape viewer and msts as originally written.

Hello.
Sorry, I'm late due to time difference.

I've tried the model in game - It positive being shown without crew: exactly as You've told - crew is hidden behind the cab wall.
Then I've investigated the model in S-Viewer ("show hierarchy" mode) and have found that the crew is defined as mirrors.
Back in game, I've pressed Shift+V and the crew have moved forward to it's right position!
This might mean, that author gave us the way to populate cab with crew when needed and hide crew, while locomotive is stabling.

I've improved lights and will reupload *.eng-file to fourth post.
Also, Thanking You discovery - I'll add to annotation there the note about Shift+V.


Ha! good to know. Thx! BTW, Anyone know what happened to Gaetan 's PRR Centipede?
