hand held remote throttle for standard dc
Posted by amay1630 on Friday, November 30, 2012 11:12 AM

Is there a manufacturer that offers a hand held throttle, either teathered or wireless, for dc power packs?

Hello,  

I used a GML Enterprises Rover tethered handheld throttle for many years.  I liked it, was simple, well made and durable, never had a problem with it.  If I hadn't changed over to DCC I'd still be using my Rover.

regards,  Peter

I use Aristo Craft Train Engineer wireless radio throttles in DC. They provide very good speed control and have great range. They are simple use and very reliable.
