Apparently if you have an electronic throttle what you described is possible as Randy pointed out with a DT throttle. <br /> <br />However, if your throttle is a mechanical potentiometer based one, then no, it won't work like that. Once you switch loco, the potentiometer is phyiscally set to 80% (or whatever number it was before the switch) and the next loco will take off ( or slow down) to whatever the potentiometer is set at physically. <br /> <br />My Zephyr's throttle is potentiometer based thus my original question.
