@Mr No
Now that you mention it and for the fact that I can't read the box, maybe this Controller can operate 2 different engines. Each engine chassis would be designated 'A' or 'B' and by simply switching the Console from 'A' to 'B' one could switch between controlling 2 trains. Do you have a second R/C chassis to test this theory out?
@Leyland
I now have both of them and there are pluses and minuses to both imo. I haven't fully tested this new version but after watching all of Mr No's video's where this is used I can assume that some of the differences are...
This new version seems to have a more quick response to the controls where you can easily stop exactly where you want. With the Mr Motorman the response of the engine is slow where it makes it hard to stop exactly where you want.
This new version is limited to only the engines with the 'OK" sign on the box as Mr No states above. The chassis can be swapped out perfectly with the last 2 AA chassis's the Plarail has produced in the last few years. So, up till now, I believe the only trains you would be able to control are some Commuter trains (like in Mr No's Video's) and Shinkansen/Bullet trains.
With the Mr Motorman you can turn any train that uses a 'C' size battery into an R/C engine and with the later Mr Motormans both 'C' and 'AA' engines. This makes the Mr Motorman preferable, imo, because it can be used with all the Freight and steam engines too in addition to the Commuters and Shinkanse/Bullet trains.
I do have the newer edition of Mr Motorman but never really got around to testing it against the original version that we had. So if the newer version has addressed the slow response time then it may be the perfect choice for all trains. Since I lean towards Diesel Freight and Steam trains Mr Motorman gets the pluses for me.
This will be our third R/C type set...the first is the Tomica World 300 Series Shinkansen Infrared set pictured here
