@Bob is cool! posted:Ok. that enlightens me. I saw on you tube a guy using it with a Z4000 and it worked for him running his conventional locos. The track connecting device allowed him to vary the track voltage My interest is that a hand held controller to run conventional is nicer than going back and forth to the transformer I don't have a Z4000 but I was curious . I do have the new wifi tui But I understand unless I'm wrong that to run conventional it's not able to do that yet.I do wish Mth would do a handheld controller I know the phone and pad app works but for me just holding a handled is easier
You might have been seeing someone use this: https://mthtrains.com/40-4001
It's a remote that works with the Z-4000 to vary voltage to run conventional engines. It's called a "remote commander", which adds to the confusion. It's been out of production for a long time, but they can still be found. (It ONLY works with the Z-4000)
