Hi @BeerLineModeler I've been following your channel for a few years now and have been enjoying your layout update videos and Beer Line Ops videos, thank you for sharing them. I noticed you are using a Digitrax DCC system, have you tried the new UT6 throttles from Digitrax? I absolutely love my UT6, you can do just about anything with it that you can do on the DT500, except program decoders. Just my humble opinion, its smaller size makes it perfect for ops sessions. Cheers, Rich S.
Hi @@beerlinemodeler, being that I'm old 😂🤣😂 and old school, I'm just not fond of using my cell phone as a throttle. I've done it on my buddies layout, but for my I still like the tactile sensation of turning a knob. Probably dates back to my MRC power pack days in the dark ages of DC block control 😂That is the one thing I really like with the new UT6, it has a nice sized knob and the throttle is about the size of a deck of cards. I've actually gotten use to holding it in my left hand and controlling the knob with my thumb. But any way, like the old saying, what works best for you is the most important thing. Thanks for the feedback and thank you for the great ops and layout update videos. Cheers, Rich S.
Always enjoy watching your ops videos. Lots of good info.
Cheers

I'm still using my DT throttles. They work for me. If I want to go smaller and cordless, I can use WiThrottle on my phone.
