Moving on from the thread earlier, I have decided to set up this thread to offer help for users. To start with I have included the control keys.
If you wish to add something, please PM one of the moderators.

Mainline trains typical "extra" controls
Not all trains use these, but they are useful to know. These are the standard ones used by TrainSimCentral-built trains, it's likely others will follow suit but check individual readmes if in doubt. Note that London Underground trains use a different set of keys - see below.
Space Toggle DRA
Insert AWS Reset
Delete Vigilance device reset
Home Increase Wiper speed
End Decrease Wiper speed
Page Up TPWS Tempoary Isolation
Page Down TPWS TrainStop Override
(all on number keys above keyboard)
2 Engine Start
3 Engine Stop
4 Toggle Tail Lights
5 Toggle Head Lights
6 Driver/Guard Signal
London Underground typical "extra" controls
PAGE UP Wipers increase speed / on
PAGE DN Wipers decrease speed / off
SPACE Tripcock reset
8 / 9 / 0 "Custom" buttons - you can turn these on and off but they don't actually do anything to the train. They are used to do things like PA buttons, cab lights etc.
Remember all keys can be customised by the user.
For individual extra keys, see the train's documentation - all differ and this is just a guide!
Edit: updated custom keys bit with LU section - TB
