Acutally, not so silly. Looks somewhat like the Manuvering Room on a
nuclear submarine, about 10'x10' in size.
The Steam Plant Control panel had wheels IIRC to throttle steam, and there
was a Reactor Plant Control Panel and Electric Plant Control Panel
immediately adjacent - pretty much as shown. The EPCP though had a big
mimic bus of the boats electric port and starboard AC and DC power systems.
Caveat to any boat sailors on the list - I used to be qualified, but have
lost too many brain cells in the 30 years since my last patrol.
