SASless,

"Am I right to assume the Engine Controls are on the Overhead Console right at the windscreen on the 135?"

No -the engine main switches are slightly low and left of centre on the main panel. Manual throttles, should the FADECs decide not to play, are collective mounted. In John's photo below you can see the 2 red catches that must be moved before rolling the throttle from low idle to off in order to shut the engines down fully. The engine main switches are the yellow ones.

John Eacott - cracking picture and well timed. Thanks.
