. I really want to get this model released, but I must do a passenger view first. I'll try and get work started on it by tomorrow, or Saturday

Would there ever be any chance in MSTS of chaging destination plates depending on what path your using?

Changing the destination boards normally means a change of the .ace file.

Just tell us how to do it.

I think the usual way is to give the destination blind its own ace.file eg: Dest.ace

Then have destinations in a folder within the loco folder eg:

Leeds.ace
Sheffield.ace
Depot.ace

Then rename the one you want to use ie: Leeds.ace to Dest.ace and overwrite it in you loco folder.

Someone did a simmilar thing with headboards on 60110 and it works perfectly.

I'll get cab screenshots up soon, if I can get permission to use the photographs I got from a site.

As for the destinations, I've done something similar with the last version of the pendolino, but it's a separate installer, and its nameplates.

For the 156 I'll do a few destinations, and this time I may write program that allows you to switch between them automatically (as I think that an installer is inappropriate for this). It'll be installed and run after you install the train

right, this is probably the best cab I've made (well most of the front anyway - photos thanks to 'Doug' (http://dysgraphyk.madasafish.com/156/)). I'll get some screenshots up a few min
