Here is the first pic of the TX20-LS 5 ch DSM2 TX for Live Steam locos.

I am working on the website to get all the details up but basically:

  1. The small knob is for setting the valve gear. It is infinitely variable.
  2. The big knob controls the steam regulator.
  3. The top R/H button gives a momentary full servo throw.
  4. Buttons # 1 & # 2 give half servo throw on two channels. Can be used with sound systems to trigger effects.
  5. Range should be at least 100’. Maybe more.
  6. Add an RCS # 2-M-F parallel to the valve gear servo to control headlights.

The TX20-LS can also operate RCS ESC’s and any centre off ESC’s.

What is with controlling the valve gear? Later RJD

#3

forward and reverse…I’d have used the term johnson bar but don’t know what the Aussies use for a term

#4

No matter what you call the device in a full size loco that does the job, what it does, is control the valve gear.

#5

Well as we say to each his own on the terminology. To me valve gear is not a reversing a loco. Later RJD

…and I have just discovered that because the new 3 amp ESC Deltang are making can have the motor drive part assigned to any proportional channel, you can run two separate locos at the same time independently controlled from one TX handpiece.
