Shunting locomotives

Brief information

The classic application for radio remote controls is in shunting locomotives. The shunting personnel maintain an overview at all times and misunderstandings between those involved are a thing of the past. At the same time you save costs by having one person perform all the tasks of the locomotive driver and shunting personnel safely and efficiently.
