Radio Equipped

Like an Erie Lackawanna E unit displaying the “Radio Equipped” lighting bolt under the cab windows the Wabash Columbia Branch is now Duplex Radio equipped. Up until now the layout has been operated using tethered Digitrax UT4 throttles. I recently installed a UR92 panel and added UT4D throttles. The system works flawlessly and has zero delay, unlike the infrared systems I have used. Dose a small layout like mine really need Duplex Radio? No, but if I’m going to spend the money to upgrade to wireless I might as well do it with the most current technology.
