    Can you have a second throttle in a walk around system?

    You can have many throttles in a walk around system, that is the point of it. On larger layouts, it isn't unusual to have 6 or 8 or more running their trains with walkarounds.

    does anybody know the URL for Aristcraft radio controllers or a online store that sells them at a reasonable price?

    I bought an Aristocraft controller from Standard Hobby Supply. I like it. I have a question regarding the unit though. How could you get more of these with different frequencies? I bought the standard (cheaper) indoor controller. I could not see anywhere where you could change frequencies. Anyone?

    Not sure that I even remotely know what I'm doing, but the Aristocraft site (hopefully linked below) refers to a soon-to-be-announced DCC alternative for HO scale.

    As to adding additional tansmitters, used to be you could sned the units to Aristocraft and they would install a different crystal at a different frequency. Not sure if they do this anymore.

    I love the Aristocraft system. I use it on my current layout and it's a dream.
