Really? Are you confusing it with the DH6?
As far as I know, the DE6 cab layout will not change.
It's a little old information, but the devs have posted like this:

High hood is possible as evident by Aeugh's 282 tweaks

#

i meant 2 control sets in cab. so you can drive both ways

#

or maybe i just misremembered

#

you can drive bothways though

#

and tbh, having 2 control stands would be too cluttuered

#

theres plenty of space i think

#

but idk

I don't think it would be too cluttered, but this is what I meant in the title. You can drive long hood forward, but it makes reading the signs almost impossible.

#

i don't think the EMD G16 was ever intended to be driven LHF

#

or any hooded loco

#

just cause it's capable and has things to support it

#

doesn't mean it's intended
