Market under Crest Electronics Aristo-Craft has been manufacturing radio control systems since the early
1950's for model airplanes, cars and boats. After started manufacturing large
scale trains in the late 1980's Aristo-Craft decided to apply radio control
technology to model railroading. Radio control was an obvious market that was
relatively untapped in model railroading. The ability to have positive control
of trains from anywhere on a model railroad with a hand held controller with
no physical connection to the power system would truly revolutionize model
railroading. This is the market that the Train Engineer Systems where designed
to fill. To free the hobbyist from the anchor of the power pack meant a
convenience that was irresistible. The hobbyist would never willingly return
to his old system. This was the premise that Aristo-Craft operated under in
the research and development stage of a product that was likely to change the
way model trains are operated. Marketed under the CREST Electronics trade
name, The Train Engineer Systems give you freedom and flexibility unparalleled
by any other train control system. You have the ability to control your trains
from nearly anywhere without wires or tethers connecting you to the wiring
system of your railroad.
