You need to use some keyboard key presses, although you can use the HUD throttle and brakes once you've got it set up.
When you first enter the cab, if the dashboard shows no status lights lit press the Ctrl & B keys together. You may hrear a 'clunk' and should see the lights light up. This simulates the battery isolation routine. If the lights are already lit you don't need to do this bit.
Pressing the Ctrl & Z keys together next inserts the master key.
The P key raises the pantograph.
Turning the headlights on is either done by pressing the H key (day setting) or the Shift & H keys together (night setting).
You could also use the mouse on the light switch itself in the cab; it's tucked away beneath the radio.
The marker lights are turned on by pressing the J key.
Put the loco into forward by pressing and holding the W key; you'll have to acknowledge the AWS warning by clicking the icon in the HUD or pressing Q and the driver safety device by pressing the E key.
Now you can use thre HUD throttle to apply power and release the brakes--hold the brake lever down until the pressure gauge fully drops at which point you can let go and it'll spring back to the running position.
Give that a bash and see if it makes it any easier.
