Yes, they once manufactured a AC walk around throttle, a DC walk around throttle, a wireless handheld add on for both the previously mentioned units and a auto start and stop controller.

What are you looking for?

I believe they may have become today's Dynatrol.

Hi Guys,

I am Bob Nute, I was half-owner of All-Trol.   My partner, Ray, passed away about three years ago and since then I haven't done much with the business.  Ray had handled the business side, and I handled the design side.  I apologize for just disappearing, but a lot has happened causing this to be put on hold.  Do you think there might still be any interest in wireless controllers?  I'd be happy to give my email, but I don't know if I can do that here or not.  

Thanks much!

Bob

Hello Bob,

Sorry to hear about your partner. Contact information for product support would probably be okay. If not the moderators will simply delete the post.

Are any of the email addresses I dug up still valid?

Sorry Bob that I haven't gotten back to you sooner. The Store I volenteer at has an old O gaugeLayout that uses the All-trol walk around units. I think they are from the mid 90's. 2 of the controller need reapired. Could you repair them ????

Thanks

Simple wireless controls that are not high priced, yes, big demand since Train Engineer stopped production. Nobody that I have found repairs them either.

Hi Rick, Sure, I'd be happy to repair the units. I'm not sure how to get in touch with you though, the email on your note doesn't appear to work and I don't know how much information I can put in the chat column... so, I'm not sure just what to do next! Can we talk directly? Thanks much, Bob
