Hello everyone:
The first of 4 remote control locomotive is soon to roll out from Derby shops. It has all the high tech features other model RCL dream of. We use a system that derives timing from the onboard GPS satellite system which allows us to run multiple RCL operations on a single radio channel. The system has been installed in a totally refurished caboose complete with onboard AC power, lights, air dryer, remote activated twin strobe lights, headlights, man down radio system with auto broadcast and horn and bell. This caboose literaly hooks up any locomotive, plug in the MU's and airlines, and switch over to remote in 5 minutes. The system also will not go remote until GSP syncs with onboard processors. This guarentees the beltpack will not control unless the timing from GPS is locked. It's a one of a kind even the Class 1's will try to match. 1st rollout in NMJ. Here's steppin out of the box! We are rolling out a total of 4 systems. Number 2 slated for midsummer if not sooner. This is self sustained unit that also an external power hock which we can roll into any shop and hook into commerical power and do all in house testing and repairs without a locomotive. Any comments??
