To BillYo414 the biggest surprise was the throttle. It takes a lot of oomph to move it and for the novice, you can't finesse it at all. Must be common as even the 'real' engineer was doing the same thing I had to do to position it. The reverser took a bit a strength too, but it was either all the way forward or back, nothing in between. Plus, the lanyard on the whistle, you have to take up a lot of slack before it will blow.
