I have the prodigy advance and I can read the display without my glasses on. However, if you are more optically challenged than I, perhaps you could rig up one of those reading magnifiers to the throttle.

Again, it depends if there is a computer interface available for your system.

The free JMRI software has a computer-based throttle. Depending on your screen size, it should be quite large. Also if there is a special need, I'm sure some of the people who work on developing it could crank out a special 'large type' throttle fairly quickly.

I think it depends on the system. I have a Lenz 90 and Lenz 100 setup which have a large LED display on the 90 and a large LCD display on the 100. With these throttles, it is easy to see what you are doing.

The throttles of DCC systems have a small LCD display.
If I cannot read or see this display, will I be able to use a PC to do all that the display shows?
