To be comfortable, I need to hold the throttle in one hand and
turn the knob or press buttons with the other.
While this two-handed operation may be acceptable for mainline
running, it becomes a bit difficult for yard operations or switching.
Trying to adjust speed while holding a throttle in the one hand and
a coupler pick in the other just doesn’t work for me.
The Prodigy Express
2
throttle will work with the Advance
2
or
the Prodigy Elite system. However, the upper six-button panel
has different functions, which I find confusing. If I had multi-
ple sets, I’d keep specific throttles with their original systems.
Actually, I’d consider ditching the Prodigy Elite throttle and
using the Prodigy Express
2
throttle throughout. Yes, I’d give
up backlighting for readability.
