Good Afternoon Rick,
Here is the forum post you were looking for:
I see the post has been deleted, I will try posting some pics of what I use. I will also include the name of the material that I used to make them.
Ray
He has reposted with a new price.
Yep, I see the price went up.
The link does not appear to work. Is it blocked?
@amtrack5899 posted:The link does not appear to work. Is it blocked?
It's a whole new listing in the For Sale/Trade forum. The old post is deleted.
I wonder how long it takes to print that on a 3D printer?
What purpose does this serve?

You're kidding, right?
@gunrunnerjohn posted:Yep, I see the price went up.
Yeah! I was on the fence with the old price. Certainly no interest now!
I use plastic drinking cup holders from the auto parts store to hold my Cab-1's. You do need to drill a hole in them to screw them to the fascia, but they only cost a buck or two.
I bought one of each .. Thanks, Ray (Sidehack)!!
Bob,
Can you post a picture of the drinking cup holders with the cab-1?
Thanks.

Your welcome, now you can use those red solo cups for what they were intended for
I bought one of Ray's also and am very satisfied with it. The long run of my layout is about 40' long, so I mounted it to the track fascia about halfway. I needed a place to put the Cab-2 so I can read the paper or do work on my workbench and still see and listen to the sounds of trains running.
I wasn't thrilled with the grey color, so I painted the holder satin black before mounting. I'll try to take a pic tonight and post tomorrow.

Thanks.
I have two different types of holders. Both work.

GRJ I’m not kidding.
How difficult is it to place the remote down at your control panel or similar location.
If the holder offered drop protection I’d see a purpose.
What function does this serve?

No one is forcing you to buy anything!!! Don't see a need, don't buy it.. It's really that simple........
I haven't bought one yet, but I admit they caught my interest when I saw them. If Ray keeps making them, I may be in for one or 2 one day.
To me, my time and effort are worth something too. If it's only a couple bucks worth of 3d printing material, I'm fine with that. It's worth it to me for not having to: a) do the drawings, b) wait for it to print, and oh yeah c) even have my own 3d printer set up at home to begin with .
Looks like a decent product.

Hi guys,
These are what I use to hold my hand helds, they are made out of a material called MAKROLON by Bayer. It is a clear plastic which I picked up at a plastics factory. I picked it up as a cutoff. The piece I purchased was 12" x 4' cost $2.00 and enough material to make at least ten holders.

Bob,
Thanks for posting the photos. Looks as if everyone has their own ideas. I drop the remote right on the layout when not using it.
Ted
Yea I just set it down on the layout or on the counter. Then forget where I left it and the search begins. A nice looking holder or two is starting to look like a good idea.
I use guitar wall hangers for the LionChief and MTH DCS remotes. I use a Hefty bag for the CAB2 remote. The CAB2 remote is a little too wide to fit in the guitar wall hanger.

Pics of the painted and mounted Cab 2 holder from Ray.
Also makes a good tv remote holder when not running trains.

Aren't your remotes in the holders when you're not running trains?

John, your such a kidder.

Micro-Mark makes a remote holder. I use it for my CAB-1 remotes. Works great.

Rich, here you go, any color you want as long as it's grey or black
