HO Scale Interior - Locomotive Cab Fixtures

thingiverse

I've got a few HO engines that are missing cab interiors - this needs to change. So I'm replacing them with an AAR control stand found in most second-gen US locomotives, an old cab chair from the EMD FT-SD40-2, and a newer cab chair from the SD40-2-Modern. The AAR control stand made its first appearance on locomotives around the time of the EMD GP30 in the early 1960s and has been a standard feature ever since. Most second-generation EMD's use it, as well as modern engines like the SD70ACe. General Electric started using this control stand during production of the U30C and also adopted a modern equivalent for its ES44 line of locomotives. Cab chairs in locomotives used to be extremely simple - just a small circle with a back support and they were very uncomfortable. Most diesel locomotives (ALCo, GE, and EMD alike) built before 1975 or so had these seats as standard. Since then, a more ergonomic chair has been installed in these units, and similar variations of this type can be seen today. This small pack should be sufficient to detail most diesel loco cabs, although a custom floor might need to be designed and printed.
