Been there and done that... It's nice, very nice.

Their newest version is even better, they have a seperate monitor (or screen) at the right cab window, so you not only see objects out the front, you see things passing you by on the side.

They've got a big sub-woofer in there, and I think they may have had one of those home theater "butt shaker" seats that ties in the with sound system.

They let me try it for a while, and let me tell you, it was just like running a standard control stand. Really neat stuff, and I talked to them a bit about creating a similiar system for use at the Mt Rainier Scenic. It wouldn't be that difficult to do. The only real obstacles are funding and finding someplace to put it with reasonable climate control and security.

I actually tried to get one of the BC Rail electric cabs to use a part of the project, but they were already sold.
