RailPro HC-2 Throttle Holder Design
William Brillinger:
I've had a few people ask about designing a Fascia Mount Holder for the RailPro Throttle.
What do you all think about this design?
It will allow you to still use the HC-2 from the holder and will let you insert and remove the HC while plugged in for charging or programming.
CPRail:
I was wondering when you were going to make a holder Bill. Looks simple and elegant.

Interesting item. Would be rather nice to be padded or just of piece of felt to keep the remote from being scuffed.

yup, I though of that. I'm going to see what I can find for padding too.
William Brillinger:
And here it is!
After a trip to the $1 store I found some craft foam which is perfect for the padding.
I did a few test cuts to refine the design and I have a working example now that holds an HC-2 securely, but not too tightly.
It slides in and out easily even when connected to the charger and usb cable.
It can be mounted on the fascia so the screen sits above the layout surface or mounted lower so it does not stick up.
There are 3 screw holes that accept number 6 countersunk screws. The foam protects the throttle from the screw heads.
For anyone that wants it to be little tighter an extra pieces of foam behind the throttle at the edges will hold it firmly.
Cost including shipping in the US will be $12, or a 5 Pack for $48
What do you think?
