Any fans of the CAB-FORWARD out there?

[cwclark]

even though i run diesel exclusively, i do like the SP cab forwards but don't run any of them...I like to look at pictures of them at the many ESPEE sites...Chuck

It's not a Cab-Forward, of course, but no one has mentioned the AC 9, which was the best looking SP 4-8-8-2. I don't believe that anyone currently makes a model of this engine, but I wish someone would!

Aggro,

About time somebody started a Cab-forward thread. I have visited the last remaining one in Sacramento (cab forward, not the thread) many times....Coolest loco ever. We need a big name modeler (are you listening Tony???) to convince LIfe Like P2K (or Bachmann or BLI etc..) to do some west coast steam....

Yea yes, I think it's the most logical design, putting the crew in front of the boiler.
If there is a head on collision they will crush instead of been scalded to death.

Silly question, Aggro--of COURSE there are cab-forward fans out here. Me, for one. AC-5, 6, and an Akane that could be anything from an 8 to a 12 (hard to tell with Akanes). Gorgeamous locomotives, just gorgeamous!!
