QR3000 electric locomotive simulators
Here we have a number of screen shots from the instructor's console software, provided as screen captures in 1999 by Sydac.
From the left to the right we have Track Builder, Train Consist Builder, Driver's Console (repeated information), and scenario controls. Each screen is effectively a 'control panel' with switches which may be set to simulate various aspects fo operating, as well as indicating to the instructor how the simulated train and its driver is actually performing.
As with the previous page, click on the image for a considerably enlarged view.
Here we have two photographs taken by me during the final testing of the first of the four simulators rebuilt by Sydac.
The camera (on the left hand image) looks across the right-hand driving position (unique to Queensland - apart from some private mineral railways elsewhere in Australia) past the driver to the instructor's position, where we can see two WindowsNT4 multiple processor workstation computers with several monitors displaying various graphical screens.
To the right we can see a wider shot taken over the drivers left shoulder, showing the instructor seated at the desk, and a TV monitor to his right showing the same track footage being displayed to the driver.
