Atomic Coaster Controls
Hard to tell if the red panel are buttons or a display. Guessing they are for emergency use by the operator in case the coaster is in trouble.

Cluttered Analogue Instrumentation Un-refurbished Class 318 Train
Look at the Flickr photo to see all the notes on this one. Everything is mapped out.
The Basics
Start, Stop, Reverse.
FPA-4 Engine Controls
"The control stand on CN 6789."
Racking Controls
"The Racks control the amount of light that enters the camera. There is always a racks engineer for every programme you see in television, constantly adjusting the cameras."
Trash Truck 31740
Controls on the outside of the vehicle, capable of being used while wearing gloves. I wonder why the levers instead of just buttons? Is there some kind of finesse with the crushing?
Thunderbird Dashboard
Wow, what a funky variation. The knobs (levers?) are under the housing and labels.
Dishwasher Interface
Icons instead of clarity.
Japanese Toilet Control Pad
This is probably the nicest one of these I've seen yet. They are usually overly complicated.
