Got two basic side consoles in Trainz, Gen SD and the SD40. First two parts of the following video are the original SD40 and my lighted repaint of same, last part is a repaint of the GEN SD side console.

Note that for the SD40 the dynamic brake lever moves forward (right) for on, backward (left) for off. Throttle is forward for neutral and back for higher settings. Reverser is forward for reverse and back for forward. The last one (Gen SD) has the dynamic the same, but throttle moves forward for higher and backward for lower, the reverser is also the opposite of the SD40 controls.
My understanding was they are all supposed to work;
Dynamic - forward for on.
Throttle - forward less power, back for more power
Reverser - the logical direction, forward for forward and back for reverse.
If that's the way they're all supposed to be then both are wrong, the SD40 has the reverser control animation backwards, the Gen SD has the throttle animation backwards. Possibly both could be fixed, the question is what is correct for the real thing?
