Description:

You have a model railroad. You have an ECoS digital command station from ESU or a Central Station (60212) from Märklin. You also have an iPhone or an iPod touch from Apple and a wireless network so you can surf the web from the iPhone or iPod.

Would you like to run your model railroad from the iPhone or iPod? You can - with TouchCab.

So what is TouchCab?

TouchCab is a handheld throttle for your model railroad. A throttle is also known as a cab, because the cab of a locomotive is where you drive it. With TouchCab you can follow your trains around your layout without having to worry about plugging and unplugging a wired device. You can throw switches/turnouts and set train routes as you move along.

- Clear overview of the locomotive’s speed and state.
- Easily change the throttle from left- to right handed operation.
