Tip of the month

Three Channel Wireless Throttle

with Joystick

Many layouts in many scales do not use DCC or wireless control.  They operate from a track-side power pack or transformer that controls a single train on a single loop of track with only a throttle control (to set speed) and a switch to determine forward or reverse motion.

This project is designed to give those operators a simple wireless throttle that will control those non-DCC locomotives & trolleys.

The throttle will control up to three trains on three loops.  Each receiver can be set to receive commands for station 1, station 2 or station 3.
