Control Stands

"We needed the authentic look without the authentic weight" - Phil VanEe

RailDriver contracted VR Composites to produce a lightweight, durable fiberglass replacement for the traditional iron locomotive control stand for use in training simulation cabs.

"VR Composites gave us the perfect solution, with a short turnaround time, and excellent quality," says Phil VanEe, Director of Production for RailDriver. "Their commitment to the quality of the product and their consistency in meeting production schedules keeps these guys at the top of my list."

The RailDriver AAR Control Stand project started out with a simple CAD drawing.

After the initial production run, RailDriver added a new feature to the stand, which was easily accommodated by altering the master.

Custom sliding access doors add a professional touch to finish the project.
