Ultimate Throttle – Lower Cab Details

Starting to put attention to the Ultimate Throttle’s cab lower section by adding details and weathering. Another HO locomotive is in front of my path.

I’ve received comments that this project is like a computer train simulator. I disagree. This is 100% model railroading. The camera equipped locomotive is viewing my HO modeling, and the cab that is controlling and viewing the image on a large screen I modeled using the same methods as I would use my HO gauge work. Nothing in the cab is from a locomotive, it’s simply wood and plastic modeled to look as real as I could. The computer is not creating images, it’s just a complex DCC throttle to reproduce the locomotive experience.
