you'll have to have one on each end of the locomotive, one for forward and one
for reverse. That's why a DC throttle is a more practical solution.

I have a CGW car as well. I would like to have had the 2010 one, too, but I am
getting a preponderance of CGW, anyway, especially since I finished those CGW
insulated boxcars a year or so ago, so I guess life will go on.
