Amen, brother. You'd think Lionel would have avoided multi-function controls considering the well-known problems MTH had with its thumbwheel. I too have Zero use for boost or brake. I've never taken a CAB-2 apart. But I wonder if there's an easy way to modify the remote internally, disabling everything but the "Push-for-direction" function?
