Good point there, G! I think my lighting is blowing out the model's textures in that pic. My texture that is being used for the levers looks more like this...

...but you make a good point, and I will try not to have them look quite so "golden" once it's in the game.
Also, good catch there, on the first photo's temp gauge. Im in the process of reconstructing the original, as I'm writing this.
@Phil,
Thank you for the compliments, and encouraging words, and the very useful information about these old gems. Appreciated.
