I asked once before about multiple DCC throttles but will ask again. I hope this makes sense.One thing that is NOT good about my little DCC Bachmann is when you go from one throttle to the next, you frequently have problems. You can just touch the "new" throttle and the train goes in REVERSE! or slows WAY down! or STOPS! or speeds way UP!There is a reason for this and it involves how throttles handoff to each other. Lets say you are running engine 3 on throttle A with the direction control right active and 1/2 throttle. Now you go to throttle B. It is set to engine 3 but the direction control left active and FULL throttle. All is well until you touch the throttle setting and this activates throttle B and the engine goes into FULL reverse.There is a way around this. And some OTHER throttles do it differently (although I havent used them and dont know for sure). The difference could be called ABSOLUTE throttle setting vs RELATIVE throttle setting. Which mfgs throttles do what on handoff, wireless or otherwise?Other throttle problems/characteristics.
