A request from the Peanut Gallery

Dear Gaetan and Rick,

You do outstanding work with creating vintage locomotives and repaints. I was wondering would it be possible for you to create a set of cab textures without the modern features, such as communication equipment, to use as alternatives if it would not be too much trouble for you.

Sincerely,
Walter C

Hi Walter,

The problem is finding high quality, high resolution photographs of cab interiors that do not include the modern communication equipment. The lack of these photographs has also prevented us from releasing other models like the EMD NW2. Gaetan has a great model, but we have no source of photos to create a cabview.

Hello Rick,

Have you tied contacting various railroad historical organizations, such as the Ontario & Western Historical society, for help with locating pictures of vintage cabs?

Sincerely,
Walter C

No, Walter, I haven't. I may try something like that.

I have one other suggestion and question. Have you tried Adobe PhotoShop to edit out the communications equipment?

Sincerely,
Walter

I know that might be easier said than done coming from me. '

I have (I actually used Paint Shop Pro).

I'll take a look...
