Jim-I find it a little difficult to control the train speed using the keyboard; I can't see a way to slow it down without using 'S' and then a combo of 'G' and 'D' once it's around the speed I want to attain.At a glance, I don't see that 'B' is assigned to anything... maybe assign 'B' to "brakes" (increase by steps each time the key is pressed or by holding down) and 'O' to "brakes off (released)"? (Alternately, use 'Q' to keep keys on the left side of the keyboard.) I can live with the 'G'/'D' combo for throttling up, and then using the brakes to keep the train at a slower speed -- I don't see anything in the finances window about paying for worn brake shoes. -Dave
