My N-scale Plainfield Lines layout was wired for cab control. It has with about 60 feet of linear bench work to walk along. One cab was fixed, and the other tethered. Plugging and unplugging the tethered cab as you walked with your train took the fun out of operating. I bought the basic Crest controller. It took 5 minutes to wire between my existing power pack and track. It works fantastically!! The amount of control it provides for slow starts and stops is great. The throttle works from anywhere in my house. This allows a "ghost" train to operate late at night when guests are trying to sleep in the family room next to the train room.
