Any chance of making this a general bonus, for those of us who want to back date some of your older (pre-digital era) sets? It really isn't that hard to swap out cabviews, especially if they are aliased.
Just a thought... |

Always possible David but you need to adjust few things in the ENG file

 Well now, it looks like we make this NP Pack go from great to greatness. The new cab looks grand....I would say that a cab with and without the modern communications would be railroad correct. The NP had a long outstanding history of holding on to what they purchased for as long as they could get there moneys worth out of it....both cabviews would be correct depending on the year of your consist.

Hello,
Nice looking retro cabview look. After corresponding with Rick, I know that it is hard for BLW to find colorized photos of vintage cabviews. Nevertheless, it would be great to have additional retro cabviews for other BLW locomotives.
Sincerely,
Walter |

Is there a night cab view? If not, I wouldnt use it. Looks interesting so far.
Also will there be a matching virtual cab view? You guys have always included that up to now.

I'm lovin that phone, the post era authenticity is priceless, besides you remember they were the only dispatcher communication back then, especially on the B&O. But hey, my hats off to you and Mr.Gaetan. Beautiful cabview here.

I like it!
One thing that's always bothered me is how the cabs of vintage 1st generation engines are based on recent photos that reflect the colors cabs are painted in today, not the institutional green I remember from growing up. |

Like this one Gaetan,
I've changed all of the f-unit cabs in the sets I have as the ones that were included with the sets were more ALCO than EMD

Hello to all.
Very fine the new F unit cab. I like very much it, with or without radio equipment. Wishing that, I think anyone should not run into particular difficulty to remove radio equipment by using a simple graphic program. By this way anyone could make more personalized F unit cab for personal use. I've often did that. It don't need a paricular experience in doing it.
It is important that Gaetan provides with a night view also, better if the change come in automatic way by using Bin patch function. It would be the top.
Hello to all.
