lol a wrench. You could pretty much use an ordinary wrench as the brake handle too. do you think you could make a video switching to every position slowly back and forth? It would be nice to have some better sounds for BVE
lol on the "what operatators acutally do" i belong to a streetcar musuem and we dont operate the cars like that more for wear and tear reasons because those controllers are hard to find (the oldest car they have is over 100 year old)
@gricer1326 They were when I bought it recently, not sure if it's still going on. Just google "new york mta memorabilia" and you should find the page.
At SEPTA, our master controller is similar
