I need a control system that will allow me to move from place to place around my layout by plugging and unplugging a multi-pin plug from a hand-held box with speed and direction controls. About 5 locations would be needed and the train must continue doing exactly what it is doing when I unplug and move to another location. I have found such a system at Dallee Electronics but it is extremely expensive. Certainly other guys have done this sort of thing without taking out a second mortgage. How can it be done? What should I consider? What do I have to buy? How much should I be prepared to spend? Thanks.
