    Merry Christmas! I've been doing the math on some measurements I got the other day of N&W's high hood Alco C628 and C630 cabs and it looks like I have everything squared away there. Now I got to compare my measures to an Atlas C630 cab. Could someone with an Atlas C630 cab please give me the measurements for the length of the cab and the cab's side window? The N&W's cabs were unique compared to the stock cab and hopefully I can finally figure out the differences between the two.

    Same width,same height..The 628 cab side is .515 long,the 630 is .575,so.060 longer..

    All the cab windows are identical,sides are .200 across on both,front is the same..The only difference I actually see on the cabs,and the reason the sides are longer,is the cab doors.The doors on the 628 are angled in front to match the cab front angle,on the 630.the center of the cab is angled,but the doors are straight across..
