I have come in late on this thread (I read the last full page of posts). One thing that I am looking at is throttles. I want wireless and I would really like a feature that is hard to explain. MY present system, when you change the throttle to control a different loco, uses the setting of reverse/forward and amount-of-throttle that the throttle control unit used for the previous loco at EXCEPT, it continues to run at the new locos old  setting until you change some setting. So it can happen that when you change locos, as soon as you touch the throttle setting, the train goes into REVERSE!!! (This will happen if the forward/reverse setting for the PREVIOUS loco is REVERSE for this loco). Whew! Hope that is clear.I am not sure what all the options are to solve this. I KNOW I want radio throttle. I envision a throttle that uses the current settings of the loco as it's setting regardless of where the throttle and forward/reverse is positioned. In other words these settings are RELATIVE, not ABSOLUTE.  Any help here?
