You close the station gates at street level, then run all the trains to
the depot.

And what would you do if the train operators had abandoned the trains and
taken the keys with them?


Trains have keys? Where do they fit - in the side of the steering column?


They have two, on 73TS one goes in a panel behind the drivers head, the
other in the reverser barrel.

Change from jealous to sad to reply.

Ours use three- a Berne key for accessing some equipment cabinets, another
which allows access to cab doors and equipment cabinets, and a third which
allows the driver to power-up the locomotive. The more 'switched on' have
several of the second and third type, to avoid the risk of locking
themselves out of the loco whilst it's powered up.
