Mike, All the major manufacturers of DCC systems (Northcoast Engineering, Easy DCC, Digitrax and others) all now offer wireless systems in which the hand held cab/controller communicates with the 'base station/command center' via a radio signal. As you note, it leaves the operator free to walk along with his/her train. It also permits two folks to pass each other walking around the layout without getting tangled in the cords. Even after wireless is installed, it's a good idea to leave some 'plugs' in place around the layout fascia for emergencies (like dead batteries) and some of the systems recommend doing programming with the cab/throttle tethered. I've been using wireless Northcoast on my layout for 8 years and it's wonderful. Brooks
