Precisely why I mentioned that the human beings holding the phones/tablets need to talk with each other if they wish to transfer control of their loco (s).
If there is only one human being, it becomes a non-issue. This is quite prototypical too.
I think you may be overestimating the complexity and risks of this a bit, no offense intended. In fact, two operators having access to the same loco using a remote may be more of a problem than restricting access to one remote per loco in most circumstances I can envision. We'll see how it works in the field.
I also agree with you on this, an excellent point!
I just like the ability for anyone else to stop my engine if they see a problem that I don't see.
We go to our club layouts to not only run our trains, but to converse with each other and have a good time. Definitely don't want to turn this into a hobby where we bury our heads in our smart device and completely ignore the people around us. (e.g. Teenagers in a restaurant that don't say one word to each other while sitting at the same table)
