Throttle Holders


Throttle Holder compatible with ISE ProtoThrottle

Our Throttle Holder Kit is compatible with the ISE ProtoThrottle. It was designed to fit your ProtoThrottle perfectly.

Original design by Scott Thornton, the Throttle Holders is easy to assemble and attach to your layout fascia. The holder is lightweight and strong. It can be painted to complement your layout colors, and it works with the optional finger strap and lanyard. The Proto Throttle Holder holds the throttle securely for storage and at a comfortable angle for stationary use.

Dimensions: 3.75" Deep X 3.6" Wide X 5.75 Tall

We can also create a custom face plate with your Throttle Holder with your Railroad Name and Logo. 

Proto Throttle Holder Parts

Check out this video by Scott Thornton showing the ProtoThrottle holder in use. We recommend using a hook like Scott does in the video to protect your PT from falls.

This video is also available on YouTube.
