Your Right, I has to be perfect. It has to be better, look, and operated better than TrainArtisan's ESE Cab. Its got to be a BigBoy Cab not some ESE or Scotsman Cab. Thanks, ADAM

Holy #####! THat cab has alot of valves! I cant agree with you more. Why not ask the guys at trainartisan for a helping hand. They are very nice and i am sure that they would love to help out. I wish i could help but i dont have the tools :'(

Seriuosly, think about trainartisan, its worth a shot and we got nothing to lose :)

Those monsters wern`t manually fired were they?
I would have thought a mechanical stoker would have been fitted, like the NSW AD60 Garrett were equipped with.
Oh! my achin` back!!!
