Can I buy a DC handheld walkaround throttle in the US?

They are available in the UK last I looked, presumably for the exhibition layout trade. But like everything UK, they are not cheap, especially shipped.

This is to use on 1x4 foot micro layouts.

if I have to go to EBay, who made good ones?  Are there pitfalls to be aware of?  I have an MRC fixed lower end throttle that works perfectly after 30+ years.

Why not DCC?  There are Reasons.  I have other model railroad projects that are DCC.

Thank you.

I am getting a Digitrax Zephyr command station for my small layout and was wondering how to mount it. Should I use a drawer or a frame attached to the fascia? I am looking for ideas. Please show them with photos!

Here's one idea I like...

Hi folks - I'm in the process of building Free-moN modules and a potential configuration is the one below that would have a crossover in the wye. Where would I need gaps and auto-reversers? I understand I would need one for the crossover to switch the two diagonal frogs and this can be done with a Tam Valley Frog juicer. Where else do I need a reverser and gaps in the rails to service the wye that forms.

I am finishing off a room for a small layout (approx 11x15).

I asked the electrician (Sparky) to include an EPO (6 feet off of floor) that will turn off the duplex outlets used to plug in electrical and electronic equipment.

The intent of the EPO is to turnoff DCC, wireless , etc. equipment in case of an impending disaster or smell of burning in the room.

I assume that the only issue I have is momentum as the locomotive slows down.

Are there any other issues that I should consider?
