I recently dug out my GP15 and couldn't throttle her up. Everything else worked like lights,reverser and brakes. Any Help? !*don-know!*

Did you check your gen field, engine run and control/fuel pump switch on the control stand?

If you want, just use the one labeled with 'simp' to driver. It doesn't require any extra work like that to move

Also it comes with instructions.

This locomotive uses custom key mapping. This will not affect the default key mapping of the
simulator, including any customisations you may have made. The key mapping differs from
the default by:
A reduce power >
D increase power > ie MSTS style.

Note the "default" control locomotive uses the default key mapping.
