The emergency brakes and horns control are set up with up and down positions. The set up of the push button controls are such that, one has the up and down selection ability for geared locomotives, while the other is for unpredicted air dump. Two out of the three paddled styled controls with center off positions are grouped and designed with push buttons controls. The controls on the left hand may appear and feel much more like the common switches found on the computer keyboard and are also all molded covers over buttons. The buttons and switches in RailDriver are not all modeled to follow a particular fashion form or design. Also, at the left of the levers and throttle is there is a tall paddle used to operate the horns, there are also a few other push buttons and rocker switches well placed to perform various functions. On the right side of the brake levers, there are a well-positioned three pair rotary switches used to control headlights and wipers. The main throttle, air breaks, and reverser controls are roughly organized immediately after Westinghouse Air breaks controls and EMD. The controls of RailDriver are almost a quarter scale compared to the whole thing. As you place your RailDriver on the table, you will realize that it is relatively tall and utilizes space. The knobs should be perfectly fit in rotatable hexagon shaped plastic where they can easily snap on and off. Using a piece of paper between the tip of the flat screwdriver and the RailDriver casing is also advisable to avoid ruining the finish.

The user manual encourages the use of a flat screwdriver to set up the lights and the wipers knobs before applying a sticker. Using tweezers to apply the smaller stickers can make it easier to have the buttons straight and well centered. Applying stickers on the round Alert and Bell buttons can be a little bit difficult given that the buttons are without a molding notch that can match with the cut in the labels. Even though the stickers are made to perfectly fit the buttons and the levers, you will still need to be extremely careful to ensure they are correctly lined up. Scalable for installation of additional sub-systems in future for ‘New Driver Cabs’ or ‘Modernization of Old Vehicles’, driver consoles are designed to suit the vehicle design and to improve the driver's safety, comfort and effectiveness.When you finally receive your Rail Driver, the first thing you will realize is that the labels used on levers and buttons are not applied by the manufacturer, instead, you find a sticker sheet in the box and it is advisable to take your time and apply them one after the other.
Human safety and comfort considerations.Standardized displays, independent of application.Modular panels are used for easy changes/modifications including provisions for future additions.ĭepending on requirement, consoles are made from MS (mild steel), FRP (fibre reinforced plastic) or using polyester/phenolic resins to comply with fire standards for flammability, smoke and toxicity.
