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?

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.
