Sean, for DC control you'll not likely find a better hand-held throttle that one from Stapleton Electronics

I run mine with an MRC Contolmaster 20, and it has no problem handling multiple locos on heavy trains, as my layout is mostly grades and curves, usually occurring in the same locations.

The handheld, walk-around unit has an adjustable momentum feature and a very useful speed range for all types of operation, plus a memory feature which keeps the train running while you disconnect from one outlet to walk to another.
Mine is on a 25' springy telephone cord, with 'phone jacks at convenient locations of the layout fascia, needed due to the odd shape of the layout room and the layout itself.

His shop is about a fifteen minute drive from here, and I can vouch for both his product and for the fact that he stands behind it, too, as he recently replaced a defective switch on mine, while I waited, gratis.

I have run over a dozen locomotives at one time using the throttle (mainly for entertaining my grandkids, as they raced around the layout room trying to keep track of the action).

Thanks Wayne,

I currently use an MRC 220 which I could continue to use because of the size of the layout however I like the idea of a walk around hand held. 
Sold!
