When operating a train from a cab on an engine which uses a two-piece shape to make the engine visible from inside the cab, if car vibration is turned on then the visible shape vibrates (or oscillates) independently of the cab view. It's a really weird and likely unintended special effect. Would it be possible to add an option so that the engine with the operating cab does not vibrate? You'd still be able to look back at the train and see the cars bobbing up and down, but the nose and handrails would stay put.

Then what about the view from inside the cab? When cab vibration was first introduced there was a feature where the cab view stayed still and the world outside swayed just a little bit. Could something like that be enabled when the "lead engine does not vibrate" option is selected? If doing that causes conflicts with superelevation, then at least could this feature be activated when superelevation is turned off?

I reported this on Launchpad a while ago, as it definitely affects the BLW models.
