 MRC handheld throttle #0001325, which they advertise as working with all power packs. The only thing I can see that it is lacking is "momentum"

My quuestion is will this handheld throttle work with the Controlmaster20  version#2 ?

I have three handheld throttles for Version #1 but they will not work in place of Version #2 of which I only have one and it has bit the dust.

Unable to get an answer at MRC.  Maybe a holiday.

Thanks Guys,

As I sort it out, this handheld is only for the 9900 or the 9950 model power pack.

https://www.hobbylinc.com/mrc-throttlepack-9900:9950-handheld-model-railroad-electrical-accessory-0001325

Manuals are available for both models on the MRC site and they mention this plug-in remote "with memory" for those models only.

 I do not see where they advertise it for use with any MRC powerpack. Seems definitely listed as only for the 9950 and 9900.

Thanks ED and Randy,

I was hoping I was reading it correctly.

Will wait till the week end is over to see if I can find something that will fill the bill. Some info, I hope, from MRC as to something that I could use to take it's place.

Thanks again Guys, you are the best.
