Far away in Chile...
Same as Beatles my friends, I need Help...

I just Import an Athearn C44-9W Union Pacific, Looks great, but something that I want to do, is the Cab, couse it didnt come whit it.

I want to add crew and interiors, so, can you help me with information (pics, links...) to see how it looks, or if there are accesories to buy and built???

Thanks so much.
 
Ahhh the Dash 9. Unfortunately the only interior you have any chance of finding on the commercially available side is Kato or Overland. You can however scratch build a good replica with styrene shapes.

NS Dash 9, the control stand, semi-centered in the cab, slightly more to the engineer's side.

SP Dash 9 (I think the UP ones are the same as this one), set up like a computer desk directly in front of the engineer.

The seats can me replicated well with an office building interior (they've got those nice "comfy" chairs with arms now). The crew can be bought, just look for a "truck drivers" or "engineers" set.

When standing in the center of the cab, the steps to the nose, (the nose door & toilet area) are to the left of the control stand. The Conductor sometimes had a small desk too.
 
If you can stand the popups and other electronic abuse, http://www.railpictures.net has 1507 photos labeled as cab interior.
Select 'In-Cab Photos' from the drop down menu in the Select Category box in the lower left.
 
Thanks Josh & Paul, now I can star planning something...

What more can you recomend to make an "upgrade" to my unit??? (talking about details)

Again, thanks
