iPhone Throttles

What's more, you could build a pretty cheap DCC system, if you already have an iPhone or an iPod Touch. (I've heard there's an Android version coming or already out there)
Add the Withrottle software (the lite version is FREE) , install JMRI software on your PC/Mac, and then:

Go and buy one of these together with a suitable power supply: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sprog-dcc.co.uk/index.html">http://www.sprog-dcc.co.uk/index.html</a><!-- m -->

Yes that's a USB DCC programmer, but what's more, if you run it through decoder pro and call up a throttle, you can run a train , without the need of any additional DCC system (okay the loco must be a DCC loco). Now imagine adding the Wi throttle to this setup. Okay it may not (yet) be fully featured, making a consist etc may not yet work, but this depends on JMRI developments, and future WiThrottle releases. Depending on your power supply , you could run one or two loco's. And if your layout is bigger, add a few boosters and you're having loads of fun!
