LNER K4

Post by 7andY »

I'm driving Vern's brilliant West Highland line, but I find that the view inside the cab a little strange - it's as if he is lying on the floor. Now I know the Scots like a wee dram now and again...

Is there any way of making the driver taller so that he can see out of the forward spectacles (windows to you others!)

Cheers, 7&Y

It would help if you told us what loco it is.

p.s. sorry 7&Y I don't have the loco. Probably need to do something to the cabview config files...

Hi 7&Y

I built that K4 years ago, the cabview is the very first one I ever did for the J39. Nobody else has ever queried the fact you can not see out of the front windows very well, so I suppose they all drive with their head stuck outside in the slipstream. (or maybe they are taller than you :-) )

I am sure there must be a setting to move the drivers head up a bit, someone should be able to help.

I'm not arguing (just explaining why I'm right).
