<p>You may ask yourself, "Why would I want to turn off any of these panels?" As only
one example, let's say we have an observation car at the rear of a passenger train. We
could equip this car with a function only decoder to control:</p>
<ol>
<li>Interior lights,</li>
<li>Rear marker lights, and</li>
<li>A rear Drum light.</li>
</ol>
<p>We have no need for the speed control pane and only need three function buttons for
this "Throttle".<br>
With a whole passenger train equipped like this, lots of screen space can be conserved
by using the throttle setup files to optimize the <strong>Throttle</strong> windows.
Then you could turn off the lights in the kitchen and lower the lights in the dining
area so the passengers can enjoy the sunset as they transit the Rockies enjoying the
beautiful sunset sipping Cognac&hellip;. but I digress. You get the idea.</p>
