Awesome - incidentally that is a sun visor to the top of the drivers window and its movable as I found out when we were in the R49 cab at Acton. Good to see that you've included the number of the car DM that we visited btw  Incidentally don't forget to include the birds nest & copy of the October 1982 Sun newspaper we found on the top shelf above the door/driver's head ;D ;D ;D |

Wow - looks amazing! Although, I think you should be sent home for not being in uniform!

For the curious, I'm now glueing the train together (acting thus kind of like a virtual Acton Works). Darren has supplied not only the usual interactive cab, but also 3 sets of 3D cabs that can act as 'passenger views' if you select a lead or trail loco. His post above shows one such view, whereby you can sit on the Instructor seat and actually look around the cab. We have both red and silver trains with appropriate numbering per S-to-S information. Cab (end) switching will also be possible.
More news as it comes together...

Red and silver R49s slumbering at the Broadway. Before any eagle-eyes mention it - yes - we're revising the car numbering   I love trains with 'character'. Sadly, red colored objects just don't look good when the screenshot is compressed into JPG. The screenshot of the red one doesn't do the sim view justice. Still a few details to tweak, but it's getting there. Best, Jimi |

Looks good. Where are you going to install connect equipment in the cabs?! |

Jimi, looking at the first shots of the exterior don't forget to correct the destination and set number equipment. You correctly show in the interior view the destination box in the offside cab window of an R Stock but on the exterior the front view is shown as on 'COP' Stock.

Also, the destination is shown as Upminster but the marker lights are showing Richmond . Unless the scene is after the marker light codes were withdrawn - when was that? [scurries off to look up history book]Ah yes, Dec. 1977. |

Ah! (smacks forehead). Thank you folks for the info. We'll fix the blind and set number location. Re the lights - I left the lower two lights 'lit' as per the photo cited above (EBY destination). It's "possible" (I think) to have the other end with different lights (locations) lit, so I'll try and implement the UPM code on that end. As we can 'change ends' with these units and cabs, I think I can do it. I know I have the headcodes listed somewhere (scrabbles around for related material....). As always, the devil's in the details ;D Thanks to everyone for their experience and wisdom!

Ah ha - just unearthed my copy of "Supplement to Sect 11 of DR Regs" that shows the headcode lights. We were indeed headed to Richmond  The correct codes for UPM and EBY will be done. EDIT: headcode lights fixed on all units. One dead bulb replaced  |

After some time in Acton Works to modify the front of the cars (dest blinds, set numbers and headcode lights), they are spotted heading out of ECMDT on test...   That I/Op looks awful familiar -- consider him driving that far east as poetic licence |

With thanks to DStock7080 who kindly posted a reference picture earlier, here's my virtual renditon using our 'old' COP and the 'new' R49. It's not exact, but I hope it's in the spirit of the original photo.  I suspect in the future we'll update the COP to use the new bodywork and add a new realistic CabDarren cab. I love these old ones... |
