Hi !
I'm currently making a model of the Flying Scotsman on my computer. To my knowledge this has never been attempted before and is something of a challenge to me by my peers on the 3D Art/Modeling website at Renderosity.com - The Bryce Forum.
(Interested parties might like to visit the thread "The Flying Scotsman Project" www.renderosity.com/bryce forum)
The reason I'm here is because I'm looking for detailed photos of the Driver's Cab, controls and valves ect. I would dearly love to hear from anyone who might have such material so that I can get as much detail into this model as I can.
I've searched for months to find photos of this nature but have yet only discovered a very small number, four in fact.
I would be very pleased to answer questions on this project, which has been running since September 2006, and you can contact me either here or at CShaftoe@aol.com
I've included views of my model as it is at the moment for those who might be interested. Thank you for reading this.

Nice! Great detailing on this 
No idea about the cab, sorry. My advice would be to find a picture of the cab from Microsoft Train simulator, which seems to be quite accurate. Be wary that the Speedometer shown in the game was not a feature of the Scotsman during the 20s, but was put there to help out the gamer while driving in cab view.

Thank you for your reply.
Sadly, and with the greatest respect, I think the MS Simulator is nothing at all like the real thing, although I have only seen a couple of screenshots.
My model however, needs to be as close to the real thing as possible.
I do though, appreciate your comments on my work. If there is enough interest I'll post updates to this page whenever I can.
