SP 3010 + SoundThrottle XL test 3-7-21
A prototype of a wireless sound and motion controller has been installed on Dave McClain's beautiful 1.6" scale SP 3010 model. It was tested at Train Mountain on 3/7/21 and during a flawless 3- hour run demonstrated smooth control over switching, an effortless start of a 7 car, 5-person train on a 3.3% grade in just the 3rd throttle notch, and an unexpected benefit of wireless control -- real-time pine cone removal. Yes, there is a "dead man" function in the radio receiver in case of a loss of radio signal. Video clips by Tom Lawler and Larry Hanlon.
