Saw Blu's video the other day. Based on the details the buttons and switches look like NEMA industrial versions. This would beat out the weak Raildriver versions. The levers have a lot more resistance than the cheap ones in Raildriver. The fact that none of these have 8 notches for throttle is disappointing. There is a video out there where someone built a full scale train cabin control system to use in Run8.
There's more passion for flight controls or racing controls than train. If I had money I'd build my own as a challenge, but I don't have fivehead abilities just forehead abilities.
