Operating your trains has never been easier!

Total control - The "throttle" rotates to increase and decrease speed in both forward and reverse.
Full speed ahead - The red light at the top of the remote is a speed indicator; steady when in neutral and blinking faster as it accelerates.
Long range reception - Even at a distance of 60 feet or from another room,
Special "Sleep" feature - Helps prolong the life of your three AAA batteries.
Multiple frequencies available, so multiple engines can run on the same layout at the same time
Realistic sounds!

Realistic steam chuff sounds are in-sync with steam engine's speed
High quality speaker housed in the tender
Three sound buttons on the remote to control bell, whistle/horn and customized sounds or announcements
Multi-System Operation!

FlyerChief Remote Control locomotives can run on any LEGACY, TMCC, or conventional transformer layout as long as 18 volts of power is being supplied to the track.
Families can run their locomotives at the same time and on the same track! At 18 volts -- Mom or Dad's LEGACY/TMCC engine can be controlled with the CAB-1 or CAB-2 Remote Controller while the junior engineer commands the FlyerChief remote locomotive with his or her very own remote controller.
