Hello all, I am a modeller who's cheap...the cheaper the better. I have some of those "out of the store" trainset powerpacks that I thought should have a better purpose then just sitting in a box. I wired the pack to wall phone outlets and threw a DPDT switch on an AFX slotcar controller, and a phone jack, making a walkaround throttle without much work. The power pack is set to a max speed of a scale 35mph. The DPDT switch on the controller becomes the direction control, and the trigger becomes the throttle. Just thought I might share my idea with others so that dust doesn't collect on something that may be of use.
