If it's of any use as I recall the R/C controller/chassis sets made for the PlaRail Advance system used to have an 'A' and 'B' setting and basically you would set them to match and could then use multiple controllers/chassis at the same time. Basically the A/B sets it to a different radio band similar to what you get on many radio control cars so you can have siblings racing round with each other on Christmas day
Happily collecting things all my life...
