When I get a roudtuit I want to convert a Z-1000 into a walk-around throttle. Move the pot into a small handheld housing and tether it using standard 4 conductor phone extension wire.

Will the train stop when you disconnect the throttle to move to a different position?

Why reinvent the wheel. The MRC Dual Power already has the walk-around feature including the memory function to move the handheld among jacks placed on the layout. They can be found at bargain prices.

Even better, TMCC  Conventional mode (CAB-1/PM-1) is full wireless walk-around control and rather inexpensive now to implement.
