It'd be cool if you could control the train using the W and S keys on the keyboard. it is my understanding that Spout is required for this kind of thing to work, so that could become an optional dependency. If you didn't want dependency for some reason, you could just have a particular item that you hold in your hand and right-click and hold with to go in the direction you're facing. Potential usage would be the cart directly behind the power cart in the train would become the "engineer's cart", and he could control his train from there. very useful for non-automated lines. I love this plugin, and this is the  one thing I could think of that might possibly improve it. Thanks!

This is already possible to do using two powered carts on either side of the train, it's the realistic approach IMO. I'll leave it open may I want to add this feature with Spout anyhow. (though SpoutPlugin is not here to stay unfortunately...)
