The motoring (shunt, series, parallel) I've modeled at 10, 50 and 100% of full power. Also the dynamics realistically start to cut out at about 20mph so you need to add a little braking at this point to maintain effective braking level. Useful if you're braking a little rapidly and want to ease it off a little. I also enabled the hold position such that you can release a little pressure/dynamic (via the Off/release position) and then move back to Hold to hold that level. Moving to Rheo2 + EP min (and beyond) provides linear EP blended with dynamics, which is modelled correctly in MSTS, as are Service and Emerg. I couldn't get the dynamics to kick in at this setting as the blended braking in MSTS doesn't work that way, sadly. Rheo 1 & hold is just a hold position (which holds the current braking level). Incidentally, I wasn't able to exactly match the CTBC functions in the MSTS eng file. Maybe he was simply limited by BVE's graphics animation abilities. I don't know where the BVE cab developer got his data, but it doesn't appear to match the C Stock photos I used. Thus OFF is vertical, moving the knob left (rotating CW) provides motoring, moving the knob right and forward (rotating CCW) provides braking. Rotating CW from there powers the motors at 3 levels (ignoring the weak field switch, which wasn't used much due to wheelslip). The Off & Release position is straight up.

Rotating CCW to the next few positions adds air brakes (proportionally, un-notched) and Rheostatic 2 dynamics.

This provides initial braking (in real life) and also provides a 1 BAR hold pressure to hold the unit stationary when at a station. The control above is in the 'Rheostatic 1 & hold' position. That's why I added the extra display to show the controller position. Here's a closeup of the CTBC bezel (which I did faithfully reproduce in the cab, but because of the angle it's unreadable). Also, the unit is stationary and the right gauge is at 0 and the left shows a reading, so I had to believe the left is brake pressure and the right is speed.

Pictures obtained from the C Stock page on the LU TubePrune site. Here's a few photos I used during design of the cab. That's not my intention, I simply want to show the information sources I used, and the conclusions and decisions I reached to meet my goal - a reasonably realistic cab of that era. Regarding your comments about controls and their placement.
