I'm new to the world of DCC, and need to know how to add more than two remote throttles to my Zephyr DCS50 when there are only two LocoNet ports on the back of it....?
 
UP5 panel, or several of them. You can keep your Zephyr in one place, run one line to a UP5 panel (one cable to two ports), then run one line from the back of the UP5 to another UP5 (or, if you're feeling frisky, you could get one of those Duplex Radio panels, UR92).

The other port on the Zephyr (the one that's free) could then be connected to a computer, so you can run other things.

What he said.

FWIW, I initially added a UP5 and one of their UT4 throttles that jack in to it. "Guests" (and kids) love the UT4, even with it's leash, as it's super easy to use.

However, I got "frisky" and wanted wireless and added a UR92 and a DT400R - The UR92 was simply "daisy chained" from the back of the UP5 and I *love* using radio - It's just so cool!

Cheers,
Ian
