Ultimate Throttle coupler and headlights

Posted by BruceK

The Ultimate DCC Throttle (UDT) is now equipped for night-time running and remote control coupling.

The Mars effect LED only creates a slight strobe effect that can be seen by camera when running the cab in the dark.

The high intensity main headlight LED provides night-time illumination that follows the track around curves.

The cab remote controlled coupler extends forward to minimize camera shape distortion of coupling rolling stock, yet just out of sight of the camera.

The impact sensor enables the cab to produce coupling sound when it senses coupling rolling stock.

In addition, the standalone telemetry locomotive has been eliminated and integrated into the front camera locomotive utilizing a nano-computer, accelerometer, gyroscope and data transmitter.
