ILC V6-RC Wireless locomotive control system
Want to bring the ease of Remote control into your locomotive? The ILC v6 May be the control you are looking for! Featuring a sleek and comfortable remote powered by replicable AA batteries our remote will have you running your locomotive wirelessly for up to 30 hours! The built in AA battery pack makes it easy to change on the fly when batteries run out. Don't have 4 AA batteries with you? No problem! The included RJ45 jack allows the user to simply plug into the locomotive when RC batteries get low so that you can get back safe.
Our special design offers a variety of features include the option for 21 pin DCC sound decoders to add that nice rumbling engine sound to your trains. Ditch lights are a great way to illuminate the track and look phenomenal when they flash back and forth using out built in flashing circuit that gives a touch of realism even when using LED lights!
Smart MU allows for the connection (wired) of up to 30 units! Using the provided MU cable and lead unit dongle ,in wired OR wireless mode, the system will automatically determine the front of the MUed set to operate lights, bell, horn, and other features accordingly. This also means that you can flip the facing direction of any locomotive in the set, If wired properly all units will automatically run in unison the same direction! (speed must be matched using speed limiter pot). See documentation for more details.
Not satisfied with the stock options? Need that one extra feature? Maybe you use air brakes on your train? Our integrated expansion option gives you the ability to interface with a variety of our expansion boards using only 3 wires! We offer an air brake controller that can regulate the pressure to your locomotive brakes as well as train brakes all from the palm of your hand!
