    Lol why would they make the master key C? What if you hit it accidentally?

    I assume it's interlocked with the control desk so if the reverser is in a 'running' position (engine only, forwards, reverse) or if the throttle is open then the key won't come out.

    Probably why they changed it to the must less accident prone CTRL+W in later models.
    I used to have issues with missing A and hitting Z when I first started playing and then wondering why the trains weren't going anywhere... (for those that don't know, Z is engine off on some locos, so I was effectively killing the loco)

    The Z key shutting off the engine is so stupid. Make it CTRL+Z or something so you don't do it accidentally. I don't know how many times I've gone into the free view (the one that lets you fly around wherever you want) and hit shift to move faster, but also hit Z by accident since they're right next to each other.
