BromsMods Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 TCS are releasing smaller UWT throttles (UWT-50) later this year and there are a number of special pre-release offers available. Details on the TCS website, which also has a new shopping cart available specifically for UK customers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BromsMods Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 You can see a couple of videos which feature both the UWT-100 and UWT-50 throttles at https://tcsdcc.com/node/2283 The videos predict UWT-50 availability as July but the latest release date I have is September as the supplies of cases have not been provided within the expected time frame.

Eveannessant Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Oh,........ itseems that TCS UK has been discontinued? Shame, John Russell was always very helpful. Now I do have a UWT 100, it's better than an iPhone with wiThrottle, but no better than a iPad with wiThrottle IMHO. I find the screens on smart phones too small. The most annoying thing that I've found with my UWT 100 is that it doesn't display 28 speed steps, ok it will still control any loco with whatever speed steps entered into a decoder, but it only ever displays 128 speed steps. If anyone else knows how to alter this, I'd be very thankful for the information. Other than that it's fine, a good easy to use simple and intuitive throttle, very similar to an NCE Procab / Powercab, both of which I love using. However because of the speed step issue I rarely use it, because it makes controlling an express train really frantic, having to keep turning the thumbwheel or push buttons repeatedly........................If I want an untethered throttle I'll use my iPad.

The devices seem to be readily available through other DCC retailers in the UK. The rate of change of the push-buttons can be altered in settings in the throttle. So, if you want, say, 16/128 steps per button push, you can have that. I don't think you can change away from 128 steps on the display. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BromsMods Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Sadly I have had to stop running TCS UK because of health and age issues. You cannot change the speed step display - see https://docs.tcsdcc.com/wiki/UWT-100#Change_Speed . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
