Realistic control stand throttle

There is a valid movement for more realistic controls for DCC locomotives.  The DCC control system is 20 years old and yet we do not yet have a throttle that equals the control functionality and ergonomic of the TAT V throttle from the early 90s.  Sound decoders are now advancing steadily with a whole new generation being released this year.  Throttles have not really advanced much in the last decade.  Yes, we have wireless, but there has not been much new since the UT4 from Digitrax.  The new throttle ESU/Piko/? throttles from Europe may eventually gain wide enough distribution to help push the hobby forward, but it is still limited in the analog interface that mimics a real control stand.



I wish to applaud the guys working on the new control stand throttle which may finally advance the throttle to match our decoders and look forward to trying one out in the future.
