WCAM3 and her sister loco type WCAM2 are not
designed ergonomically for the comfort of driver. The seat is fixed to the wall
and cannot be adjusted or moved.
My friend is 5'-8" tall, a normal height
for most Indians. When he sits on the seat, his knees touch master controller
housing. Keeping his toes on foot-rest did not help him, either.
To make the matter worse, the pedal to release
train brakes (only) while shunting, is underneath master controller housing,
brake controller is far to the left and his view on right side is partially
obstructed.
WCAM1 with a bar stool was much better than
WCAM2/3. Needless to say, they are nowhere close to WCMx seats.
Walkie-Talkie can be seen resting on desk.
