Here's one of mine-

NOTE: You will have to tilt your head to see it, since I forgot to flip it after scanning it.
It's the cab of an SD70M. I drew it not knowing what the real control layout is, but I think it's a close approximation. I have some other pics, but this is my best one. Enjoy[8D]

I can't draw but I could probably do a drawing on a computer. I work ACAD drawings at my school. I've done a few train drawings in the past.

Wabash [:)]

Now that you mention it, I don't see the reverser (could be removed), the throttle/dynamic brake handle, the pilot cut off value, the auto brake, or the independent brake.

Maybe they just use the "Star Trek" comments, "Computer, give me a 20 pound brake reduction." [:D] [:D] [:D]


Adrian [8D]

I think you and I am in the same boat when it comes to drawing. [;)]



Mustang [8D]

Now back to the drawing, overall it is pretty good artwork. Much better than I could have done, but I might have cheated and traced it. [;)] [:p] [:D]

You might rescan it and post it again. [:)]

Overall a good job though, keep up the good work. [:)]

I can draw trains pretty well, but I draw Amtrak trains the best (probably because I've drawn more of them than any other).

Thanks for the compliments guys[8D] I completely forgot about the reverser, but the throttle is there somewhere. And I forgot the LCD display...

BTW, here's another.




It looks a bit bad because I drew it really fast, forgetting some major details, such as the size of the cab windows on the GP60M, And the various louvers, access doors, ect. The F40 was cut off because my scanner is too small.

I'll post more once If I can find some, since my main thing to draw is cars and trucks[:)]

Not all the desktops have the large LCD though.
