From Train Control Systems Friday January 15, 2021:
Hello everyone!
TCS is happy to announce
that the pre-order period for the UWT-50 "mini" throttle is now available
starting TODAY January 15th. Pre-orders will close on March 29th. TCS is offering
the largest discounts that will be available on the UWT-50 during this time. We
are offering two "tiers" of pre-orders, which will offer different discounts
based on how much you pay up front. The UWT-50 will be priced at $199.95 once pre-orders
close. For individuals looking for a wireless WiFi throttle like the UWT-100 with
that "classic" knob feel at a price point lower than a standard HO sound-equipped
locomotive, the UWT-50 is just what you have been waiting for!
Available Pre-Order Tiers for the UWT-50 "Mini" Throttle:
Some features we will be including in the UWT-50 will include:
Two Available Knob Options
Select either a Potentiometer knob for a fixed starting and ending point, or the
Encoder knob if you prefer infinite scrolling.
Large, Full-text Screen
1.42" x 0.92" LCD screen with white backlight. Brightness is entirely
adjustable for a variety of operating conditions.
Programmable Buttons
Two buttons on the face of the throttle, as well as two multi-position switches
on the side can be reassigned to control many functions. Examples such as dynamic
braking, manual notching, and higher-numbered functions are now a simple button
press or switch flick away!
Battery Power That Won't
Leave You High-and-dry
The UWT-50 is powered by two double a (AA) batteries, and support multiple chemistries
including recharge-able, such as Alkaline, NiMH, LiPo, NiCd, and more! An
easily-accessible battery compartment allows for quick, on-the-fly replacements
so you're never stuck in a sticky situation waiting for your throttle to charge!
(The yard master won't be happy to hear about that!) The UWT-50 lets you focus on
what matters - running trains!
Multiple Connection Modes
You can connect to any DCC system using the WiThrottle protocol or a system-specific
WiFi device, or communicate directly with your LCC network in LCC mode.
In-Throttle Consisting
Consisting doesn’t have to be difficult, intimidating, or complicated. The UWT-50
features a simple consisting interface where users can make, modify, and break up
consists in mere seconds.
Yard Mode
Yard Mode is an innovative, TCS exclusive feature designed for switching operations
and control. Perfect for spicing up repetitive yard moves!
Full-Text Menus
Menus present all options in full words and phrases. No guess work or manuals needed!
Help Text
Use the [?] button on the keypad in any menu to access help text for that menu item.
The throttle will call up a relevant part of the manual or simple description of
the selected operation. Help is always one button press away!
Easily Updatable
Update throttle software and add new features to your handheld from the comfort
of your own home.
Flashlight
The UWT-50 unit comes equipped with two bright white LED's that can be activated
at any time - handy for finding those dropped screws and lost detail parts, decoupling
during nighttime operations, and ventures under dark, cavernous benchwork!
