It really is quite simple - in the cab you are presented with 5 principle controls:
- Throttle
- Reverser
- Independent brake (Brakes the locomotive only)
- Train Brake (Brakes the entire train)
- Hand Brake.
How to drive:
- Place the reverser into the forward position.
- Ensure all the brakes are off.
- Put a small amount of throttle on to make the train move.
To stop:
- Put the independent brake and train brake on.
- When you have come to a halt, disengage both brakes, put the reverser back into neutral, and apply the handbrake.
