    The Proto Throttle is a wireless handheld controller emulating a prototype diesel control stand that works in tandem with your DCC system. It features an anodized aluminum faceplate, 9-position throttle handle, 3-position reverser handle, smooth resistive brake handle, spring-loaded horn handle, and many other features.

    Currently supported DCC systems include : NCE, Lenz, ESU CabControl, JMRI WiFi Throttle, MRC Prodigy (via wifi module), Digikeijs DR5000, and Digitrax (via an LNWI module).

    The controller is set up just like the controls in a locomotive cab. (see image)

    It is not exactly cheap, but if you want to run your engines just like the prototype, this is for you !

    Cheers, Gary.

    PS, A similar throttle is being developed for steam locomotives which will include throttle, regulator, brake and more... A sneak peak about this product can be found here on this video at the 31 minute mark :
