My Legacy remote goes back in the charger.  I built a caddy for my DCS remote.

I do the same thing at home that we did at my club:  Secure them to the layout framework sides using Velcro strips.

We had a thread like this a while back and some came up with some elaborate ideas. One simple idea I remember though is one fellow screwed a plastic coffee can to the side of the layout.  I got criticized for making a comment that I didn't think any thing was needed.  I just lay mine on the table next to the transformers.

Old fashioned control table, but I love the nostalgia.

I bought a DCS remote holder from Micro Mark.  I like it because I can still access the keypad while it is in the holder.

I leave my Legacy cab 2 remote laying any where and everywhere.Much more convinient to have to look for it every time I go back.Nick 

I read a tip that said to use an officemax high-back brochure holder. They showed it holding two Legacy remotes, a DCS Remote Commander and some books. It can sit on the layout top or be mounted to the side. They are available at the link below for less than $10. Seems like a good solution.

Sorry for the duplicate post.

What about a lanyard around your neck, does anyone use something like that?

I have use the DCS remote many years and an comfortable with it. I got the Legacy remote a few months ago and find it large and not as easy to operate. But the switches are operated through the DCS remote, so anytime there is a route change, I have to pick up the DCS remote while still handling the Legacy remote.

Very clumbersome. I have been thinking about adding some sort of neck brace to allow for not put down one or the other remote.   Maybe attach a piece of Velcro to the back of the remote to attach the lanyard?

Here's what I use for my DCS remote.   Only modification I did to it was wrap the metal bar with electrical tape to prevent scuffs......

I'm glad that you commented.  I have seen those but never bought one, but I thought it would be a great idea to have several!

I included the link to the Ace website, but I bought it right in the store.....don't remember if it was the same 5 or 6 bucks, but probably close.

Could you screw these into a front fascia?

My transformers are on a small TV table that rolls out from under the layout. I just lay the remotes on the shelf, no need for a caddy. They are right there when I turn on the transformers.

I remember seeing somewhere here on the Forum that they used one quart plastic milk containers notched out to set the remotes into.

I use a phone stand for a desk.

I use a keyboard tray.

I use small office plastic pencil holders that I screw to the fascia of the layout.  I got them at a big box office supply chain.  They work great.  The cell phone caddy from Western Marine looks interesting.

I have several of the Micro Mark holders around the layout screwed to the front.

They work great..

I made mine out of empty Folgers coffee cans.

Velcro strips.

Sure, shouldn't be a problem.

Since I run conventionally otherwise, but I have five LC+ locos with remotes.  When one or more are on the layout, those stay on a shelf near the transformers when not in my hand.  I have painted the road number on the remote to help distinguish which is which.  (If you do not recognize the road numbers as LC+ numbers it is because I have bashed all but one into more scale models of somewhat smaller locos).

When the loco is not on the layout, its remote stays with it on the shelf.
