    How to get a realistic WDP4D for open rails?

    I am trying to find a WDP4D that looks realistic. I know about Moshin Patel sir's EMDs but those models cab 1 and 2 are same which are not same in real life making them unrealistic.
    In particular I want something looking like BGPRO EMDs but free.

    Can somebody please help me out?

    Not familiar with the BGPRO EMDs --- but a logical question would be? If they looked like the BG PRO models, would they still be free?

      I don't really mess with dual cab equipment, but is open rails even capable of displaying a different cab layout on the same engine?

      What's different about the rear cab versus the forward cab?

        Good morning. If you are able to change cabins, you must have both CVFs. cvf and cvfr. And the locomotive is stopped. The cabin is the same with rear vision. Search for F1 on the keyboard to know how to change it.

            Yes Open Rails (and MSTSbin for that matter) can absolutely display a different cab for the reversed view, since switching is handled by appending a _rv to the name of the cabview file you can arbitrarily insert any cabview; with appropriate modifications to the reverse cvf and lighting arrangement this would allow you to simulate dual control North American locomotives as well.

              Thanks for that clarification. Dual cab is really not very common with North American equipment, especially in the past 50 years.

              Now the remaining question is why the provided view in Moshin Patel's version isn't very realistic... it's by far the most popular in the library.
