Unpowered Control Car

---------------------

This module simulates the control cab of a DMU set of cars. The cab typically would be located in an unpowered
1970
+
trailer car which is attached to a powered car for the provision of its motive force to drive the train forward.
1971
+
1972
+
Apart from producing motive force the car (and cabin controls) should behave exactly the same as a locomotive.
1973
+
1974
+
To set a control car up it is necessary to produce an ENG file which has the ``Type ( Control )`` parameter set in
1975
+
the engine section of the ENG file.
1976
+
1977
+
The Control car uses most of the same parameters for its configuration as a powered locomotive. The major items that
1978
+
can be left out are those parameters associated with power, motive force, diesel engines, some braking items, such
1979
+
as the compressor and main air reservoir, and some of the diesel effects (as it has no diesel engine).
1980
+
1981
+
Some of the cab monitoring gauges provide visibility of what is happening on the powered car. To do this OR searches for
1982
+
the "closest" powered car near the Control car and uses its infromation.
