Making a Lanyard for your RailPro HC

<< < (5/5)

William Brillinger:
For anyone interested, I have 3 sets left. Includes hardware and lanyard, $4 US per set.

Tom:
I had not run across this post before, but am very interested.  When using the HC-2 I feel comfortable holding in my hand, when not wanting to do that it is easy with a small layout to just lay it on the table and even manipulate the HC2 there.  I see the problem as what to do with it for a few minutes when one does not want to hold it. I am betwixt and between on the lanyard vs. the belt/key chain.

So what is the “standard” method used by the DCC crowd for their hand held controllers which are sometimes cell phones?  And, BTW, what about some kind of a holster?

It's been a while since I've operated on Lee Nicholas' railroad, but what I remember the lanyards were a boon, and most of the railroad you didn't have to reach far enough in to uncouple cars that the swinging controller presented any danger to the scenery or rolling stock.  The only exception was in the yard, but there he had a place to put the controller when you needed both hands and had to reach into the deepest track. 

I miss working on the Utah Colorado Western.
