Will the train stop when you disconnect the throttle to move to a different position?
In the case of a modified Z-1000, no. Have not looked at the electronics enough to know whether an open circuit (infinite resistance) at the speed-control pot would result in zero speed or full speed. In my case not a problem because the train room is small enough I don't need to move the tether to different outlets.
