The Train Engineer from Aristo-Craft
Aristo-Craft's original innovations with the Train Engineer System did more to make model railroading fun than any other product had in many years.
It added a much needed capability for outdoor railroading, where model engineers were continually being frustrated by the tethers and anchors of power packs.
Being able to control trains remotely is an essential capability when natural environment operations combine wih hundreds of feet of track. Engineers can spend time enjoying their trains, rather than shuttling back and forth between train and power pack.
Today, remote-control model railroading is a reality and embraced by model railroaders around the world. From Z to large scale, hobbyists are switching from their tethered power packs to the Aristo-Craft Train Engineer.
Get your hands on the most advanced model railway control system on the market, the CRE-57000 Train Engineer Revolution.
Control up to 50 locomotives with one transmitter!
Each locomotive requires an on-board receiver which takes only minutes to install in any locomotive equipped with a plug-and-play board. A non-plug-and-play board is available for other types of locomotive.
