Digitrax UT4 throttles

I bought two of them for my two sons (and me) to use. My 11 yr old understands the concept of how digitrax throttles work so it was very easy for him to work. My 5 yr old doesn't have a clue, but he knows what engine road number is his and he is able to manipulate the dials on the UT4 better than me (because of his small fingers of course), knows how to aquire it also, haven't taught him how to dispatch yet, but I am sure he can figure it out, these kids are pretty smart these days. <br /> <br />I think it is the perfect throttle for kids and visitors for that matter. There is no way they can upset programming with this throttle. <br /> <br />For myself, I think it is like the DT300, a little small for adult hands. The dials are abit difficult to turn, I feel like I might break one off one of these days, but I doubt it. Other than that I use them all of the time and am satisfied with the units. <br /> <br />I have the Zephyr and these are my only walk around throttles at the current time. I think I made the right choice. Eventually, I will add a DT300 and/or DT400, but the UT4 suits our needs for now. <br /> <br />Hope that helps. <br /> <br />Mike
