RailWorks D78 Refurb cab

And I think the footrest is still wood.

Thanks guys. The legend plates for the offside and nearside door buttons were taken off of photographs but I don't know if they are pre or post refurb ones. Were there changes to these during refurbishment.
Also, with the wooden footrest, is that press stud on it for some purpose. The whistle is up on the control console.

Colin, do you know if the offside console that houses the flags is now the same grey as the drivers console as in the pics, or is it still black. I'm sure I only have pre-refurb pics for that side.

Thanks Colin. Is the tripcock reset and passenger open buttons still in their original positions on the refurb. Oh! and the big red emergency stop button.

Thanks for you help Colin. Once I've finished modeling the offside cabinet, I'll post some pictures again to make sure I've got it right.

Will we have a route to go with the D78?

A little update.


Hopefully one of our team will get me a picture of the saloon floor to texture the cab floor with. Are they the same?

Also, a good idea using the Google Earth images as a template

Here's a quick update on the route from our PW engineer Dr_Eddie:-

Richard Scott our illustrious 3D modeller has been burning the midnight oil to bring you his latest creation which is a nearly perfect rendition of Richmond Station.

I've had to bulldoze my belts and braces mock up but it was no hardship to replace that with this soulful version.

I've had a roam around the environs taking pictures here and there to give you all a feel for how real this all looks now. The plan now is to work back towards Stamford Brook which is where the track ends at the moment placing all the scenery. I will post more shots here as I go, so you can follow progress and see if you recognise the locations.

Here we go.





























Happy Easter Enjoy
Eddie


And a few more:-

Here's some more from todays work.







I've been busy around the Homebase curve and even my gruesome mock up is becoming passable.

I'll reveal all tomorrow. Then full parallel to Kew...........................I've got some fencing and Flower pot arranging left to do here.

Best Regards Eddie.

Here's a link to the post. Have a look at Richard's 73ts at the bottom.

I love it aswellll!

Thanks Dstock7080. A couple of questions:-
Has the radio been blanked over or completely removed.
Where are the cab air cooling switches and if you look at the night pictures you'll find the 'passenger alarm mute' switch has now been blanked off as those shots were taken from a later date model. The night cab and day cab are now the same model and you will be able to turn the cab light on and off in the sim. Looking forward to this function.
Thanks for your obseravtions. Trying to get this as close as possible.
Darren.

Ah Right! So the cab air cooling switches are above and behind the driver and I see the plate you are refering too now. That's a great pic and I need to make the shoe paddle a bit longer. Roughly where does it end in comparison to the train number.
On the first pic, I also noticed what looks to be a telephone handset on the left leg of the control panel. Is this used

This pic shows it ends just over the last (from front) number:

Richard's been messing around with some winter TS2012 lighting as well.
