Does anyone make cab kits to enhance the looks of engines? I'm mainly thinking of diesels, but steam would be cool too.

I'm also looking for glass kits. I may have to improvise on some, but there must be somebody that makes all kinds.

Cannon and Co make EMD cabs and interiors, Detail Associates, Railflyer Models, and Hi Tech Details Also make cabs.

I am sure there are others like small resin manufacturers and some I missed but these are the ones I can think of. Also there are Co.s that make laser cut windows for various cabs too such as American Model builders AKA Laserkit.

Cannon does second generation EMD, High Tech Details does GE Universal and -7's cabs. Both come with laser cut windows, now. Phil
 


Wow! There's some amazing stuff there. Thanks!

Does anyone make the interiors? It would be nice to replace the traditional light bulb with an engineer, floor and walls. Not to mention a better headlight set up.

Many years ago GSB did a second generation interior. Keystone does first and second generation hood units and f units. Have seen both at swap meets.

Thanks Phil!

It looks like Keystone still produces interiors. However, they are either owned by Walthers or are distributed by them. I can't seem to find a website for them. Looks like lots of their stuff is available on Ebay though.
