well in any case to be sure, we would not hide the fact that any of our locomotives have a custom cab, so there really is no point in asking about it.
i would love for every locomotive to have a custom cab, but unfortunately i cannot work 24 hours a day modeling them, and if every one had a cab there would be only a small fraction of the selection at Jointed Rail.
the next custom cab will be that for the dash 8.
about the engine that was missing a cab, i cant speak for it, but maybe it was some kind of error. there really is no reason not to have a cab at all in a payware or freeware engine since there are built in cabs. i dont see how it has any bearing on whether it was a good buy or not, and it certainly doesnt mean im sending it to retirement as freeware. you should stop asking for things to be sent to freeware, it only makes them take longer to get there.
