Wireless Control systems
The Intelligent Locomotive Controller or ILC for short Is a series of piggy back controllers intended for use on back yard ride on trains. The ILC features wireless and wired control, ease of use with their plug and play MU capability and many additional features. On top of all of this each unit can be custom programmed at the customers request to best fit their locomotives functions.
All ILC series controllers are rigorously tested for operation, reliability and safety. You can guarantee there will be no risk when running an ILC (outside of human error).
