Hi all DCC fans!I use the Roco Multimaus digital system, and of course I do appreciate that they have done a very ergonomic handset.But the designer that chose the color ought to have been sent on retraining Sure, the red may well be neat, but not on a controller .... Looks almost a bit "so" ....I did this to mine today:Dismantling it took about 5 minutes, of which three minutes were spent finding a suitable screwdriver ...I cleaned the cover with soap and water, and mixed in a little spirit to accelerate the evaporation.Then I primed it with a black primer:Then came the real fun .I wanted a personal touch, so I thought that I would have stars on the upper part of it, clouds in the middle and fire at the bottom.I used white in my Iwata CM-B airbrush to sketch it up freehand:The back got a little more clouds and a locomotive at the bottom (it IS a Train accessory after all...).Then I added the colors from light to dark and I finished with some white for highlights.This is how it looks before Varnishing:I finished it with a satin-finish spray varnish which I let dry for about five hours before I assembled it:I'm pretty happy with the result, now there is no doubt about whose hand control it is .

Interesting.
You may have started a new fad.

Pimp my Multimaus? LOL
Man, I am really out of it.
When I saw the title of the thread, I figure a hacker had descended on the forum.
I had to look it up on Google to see what it meant.

PIMP who? You're really a PIMP? there's prostitutes here? Her name is MultiMaus? Oh, Your pimp name is Multimaus... WHere where? DO they belong here with a PIMP?
OH, I get it now....Pimp my Multimaus...as in spice up the DCC controller....I see.
Well, now you've gone and done it.
Everyone will want one just like it.
Are you prepared to make many more for everyone who wants one?
Pretty cool.
Now like I said everyone will want one!

HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
That is one cool controller. My NCE cover is in the mail. By the way A CPR Selkirk on the back would be great.

I would gladly paint covers for those that want one, the best would be if it was possible to get a replacement cover to avoid waiting time
Anyone interested can contact me off list.

I sent some pics to Roco with a question about the possibilities to get some extra shells .
I have also asked the Lenz Importer about the LH 100 shells...
That's incredible, and dead-gorgeous. Too bad there's not enough surfcae in the Digitrax throttles for such a thing, or I'd be all over the offer.

Pretty cool. I am thinking of doing something like this to some of my plain boxcars.
