Horseheads, New York – December 13, 2001 – ORTHSTAR, Inc. unveiled a brand new training product at the 67th annual Toronto Railway Club meeting. The product, MODSIM-1, is a fully functional, yet portable, simulator and is designed for both student and experienced engineers. MODSIM-1 provides real-time evaluation and feedback of student performance – all from a briefcase.
ORTHSTAR’s CEO, James E. Orsillo stated “Its flexibility and
ease of use makes MODSIM-1 one of the smartest training tools on the market
today.” The MODSIM-1 is a first in the
rail and transit training industry because it is an easily transportable device
that contains the full functionality of an ORTHSTAR simulator. Utilizing the MODSIM-1, student engineers
learn proper train handling techniques allowing them to perform their job both
safely and efficiently. Experienced
engineers also benefit by learning the correct procedure for throttling and braking
a train in order to lessen forces and save fuel.
Mr. Orsillo stated, “with the current economic conditions
the market appears to be very favorable for a training product at the price
point we are able to offer MODSIM-1.”
Mr. Orsillo went on to say, “initial reaction has been very favorable
regarding the MODSIM-1 and the idea of a truly portable simulator that
instructors can take to the trainee.”
