The cab for the Allegheny/Blue Ridge is finally finished. (Actually I"m finished with it!) It's not up to the standards of many other cabs. It was an experiment and a learning experience from the start. I was able to actually do more with it than I thought I could, when I started. I've sent an email to Bob regarding putting it in the file library. Until that happens (if it does), here's the link. Be sure to read the readme.txt. Thanks for the interest and thanks to all on the forum who offered needed help. Hope you get some enjoyment out of it. Also, this replaces both engines entirely. I would suggest deleting any previous version you have. PS: Don't make fun of my cab crew. I ran out of money building this thing and I had to settle for the lowest bidders.

wonderful stuff man! don't sell yourself short; the cab is plenty detailed and quite an improvement over not having one. The only gripe I really have with it is that the brake handle motions are reversed from real life. Handles should be pointed to the centerline of the cab in release position and rotated toward the engineer's position to lap and apply, etc.

Thank you very much! As far as the brake handles, I must have used RSC's Big Boy or Challanger as an example.

I thought I was through in checking for problems, but I noticed that the animation for the rear engine has a glitch. Here's a fix for it. Just unzip and drop into the \Assets folder. Choose 'Overwrite".

Also, I got permission from 'B & O Guy" at Elvas Tower to port his PRR M-1 Mountain and his ALCO FA/FB-1 and PA/PB-1 to TS2019. I'm working on the Mountain now. It will take more time since these engines don't come with textures.
Here they are in Blender, if anyone's interested.



Would definitely love to see these engines with a proper cab interior as well.

I actually know of someone that might be able to help you with that.

At first glance, there doesn't appear to be much difference between the fist screenshot I posted, and this one. But if you compare the two, you'll see a number of subtle differences. I've re-done most of the objects in the first post and added a few more. There is still a lot to be done. I'll post another screenshot when I've made more progress.

Looking good, I also can't wait to see the Allegheny upgraded with sounds and redone textures as well, shine up the beast.

Why I can't load coal or open the firebox?
