Well, there is a crew training simulator here. In Duluth, MN, at the Depot, an SD-45 simulator that Wisconsin Central R.R. donated to them. Yes, it's hands on. I was on it yesterday, and it is very realistic and fun.

I was thinking of making one like RailDriver controls did....I still might if money, time and space permits, and If I can find a rail-road grave yard.

Canadian Pacific Railway has a full size AC4400 cab simulator at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, Alberta.It is quite interesting to drive, similiar, but extremely different from MSTS.- Andrew

Are all of them full size? I like the training sim better than the MSTS program (i just installed it yesterday and it is 8GB already!), more realistic. Is there one that bounces like it could do on the track? I'm really an EMD second generation fan, I'd love to do the AC44. Yes, CP AC44's come by on the BNSF track quite often!
