Anybody know the dimensions of a Wabtec / Pulse Electronic Trainlink II Head of Train device?

The photo references I have help with proportions, but my attempt appears a little bit high or not wide enough.

I spent a bit of time looking, and I found a lisitng for an older trainlink box, giving mesurments as flows.

BOX SIZE 12 X 7 X 3 [12 LENGTH HAS MOUNTING TABS ABOUT 3/4 LONG AT EACH END] (in inches)

Comparing the proportions, I think the newer box is just taller.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. As a bonus, I also found WABTEC train brake controller on ebay with a ruler showing height and width.

Cheers,

Marek.

surprised no one did an NW C30-7 in MSTS yet. There's been one in Trainz for many years so why start now?

I once had a similar question.
I myself took it upon myself to repaint a C30-7 in this color, but not for this railroad.

low quality ATSF bookends U33C repainted from Patrick Wise's old model
Still trying to figure out how to preserve the alpha channels because I keep messing it up when exporting the reskinned tga back to an ace

Hint hint, needing St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railway (French and English versions)

If you still need them, I have them in transparent .png format

with a little imagination... (reskinned old Jeff/Bernard FMC hoppers into stand-ins for other low-hip covered hoppers such as from Pullman Standard

I actually did manage to trace what I needed with large photos I found from Micheal Eby (Trainiax). However, I ended up not finishing off that project, so its sitting on the back burner for now.

There are some of my repaints in the file library, but I don't upload anymore because I'm never satisfied with the results. But...

Ontario Northland RS-2 1301 in Timmins yard.

Early BN anyone?

wood chip stop.jpgReskins of the GP38, box car, and extended caboose in the B&M Bluebird Scheme. The DDS image files are converted to PNG and then changed over. Once I'm done I convert them back to DDS format.
Right now I have a MSTS caboose reskinned but I can't get the file to convert back to the "ace" format. I tried changing the "S" files to point to DDS format for graphics, but it doesn't grab.

Is that a Streamlines car? It looks a bit clean for a SLI repaint. I was thinking it's a Paul Charland model
