Train Simulator Classic Keyboard Controls

The keyboard controls of Train Simulator Classic have a steeper learning curve than Euro Truck Simulator 2 or Flight Simulator. You must learn the difference between a train brake and a loco brake. You must remember to reset the vigilance monitor. You will forget to raise the pantograph and wonder why you're stuck at the platform.

But the first time you perfectly brake a 4,000-ton coal train into a 10mph yard limit using nothing but the ; and ' keys, you will feel a profound sense of accomplishment.

Print this guide, tape it to your monitor, and remember: A to go, ' (apostrophe) to slow, W to go forward, and Backspace for despair.

Now, release the brakes, notch out the throttle, and enjoy the ride.

The controls in Train Simulator Classic are designed to mimic real-world cab levers and buttons. Most controls have two keybinds: one for the specific action (Increase/Decrease) and often a "Direct" key to jump to a specific setting.

If you only memorize six keys, make it these. They control the primary forward motion of virtually every train (diesel, electric, or steam).
