Hi, this is how far I've progressed on a Custom cab for Jon Davis's, various 4-4-0Generals. Any takers, what do you think?
It will be going out for Beta testing and then upload if wanted.

Great Looking!
Yes there is interest out here for your new cab.
With all of the talk before the 4-4-0 was released, I am surprised that there has not been more posts concerning those great looking little engines.

1Bigjohn, unfortunately, I can only make the Cabs with the resources available to me. I've E-mailed "TrainArtisan" requesting them if I could use some of their Cab details....they did not bother answering me, so for the time being please forgive me, for using some British stuff.

Thanks for positive comments. Here is the final version for the 440Gen4 Loco.
I live......not only out of town but also out of touch...He,He,He, Hee, Haw :D This is the reason for sticking with the only resources avail to me. I have promisses which I presume will materialise in the New Year. Richard Foley is doing the Beta and the Common.cab stuff........He's good with that. Happy New Year to Everyone who takes the time to read this post in a positive way. ;-)

Hey, if you want to use the Johnson bar and the throttle of the Shay cab I made, go right ahead. They have invisible backgrounds, so you can easily slap them on any other cab. The long throttle bar consists of three pieces, you'll have to set them the same way as in the Shay cab to look right.

Mikkox, it will be a Great help. I really Thank you for the offer. I'm sure, somewhere, sometime.........you will be rewarded a thousand times over.
Thanks, Johan.

Hi Route_Rock,
Thanks for your encouraging words. I've had a bit of a problem with my Original "Scotsman" Cabview files, this is the reason for not posting the different Cabs ( 4 Off ) yet. If all is well...The Cabs wil be uploaded towards the end of this week.
Uploaded to forums.flightsim.com.
Yes, it is a great help from Mikkox to let me use his Shay's Regulator Lever. It works fine.
Regards to Everyone, Johan.

Bigjohn, I apologise for the delay but I struck a bit of a hold up. I will definately load it up this week. I mean this week.
