Bill: My latest throttle is a GML "Rover". It works fine, but I have to wire it into the Yardmaster Panel at Terminal District. I usually install the wiring for future throttles when I build these panels, but this one slipped through the cracks.
My procedure with tethered throttles is to line up a train to the next station, then move the designated throttle to that point and operate from there. It works pretty good, and I get exercise at the same time. I believe DC operators like you and me are a dying breed, but still don't see a need to change my whole control system at this stage of the game. A few times in the recent past I have considered getting out of the hobby completely so my wife and I could move into a condo. However, I'm still hanging in there, at least for the time being. Too many ideas & projects, too little time! boB Nicholson ______________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "Willam Fraley" <wjfraley@...> wrote: > > Bob, > > Did you get any offers for used DC throttles? > > Bert Mahr and Frank Titman put me on to this company and it's what I use > www.theGMLenterprises.com. > > They have walk around throttles and they are very good, sturdy and easy to > set up. > > I'm using two GML "Rover" throttles at this time. > > > > Speaking of Hook ups and consists ....
