<{POST_SNAPBACK}>No, but I have seen it used at a model rail show. It seems to work but the problem is that most phones don't have the appropriate buttons for train control.
All depends on what you mean by appropriate buttons. All phones have numbers 1 to 0 plus star/hash buttons which are all that is required.
With the Lenz XPA phone adaptor you have Forward, reverse. Accelerate in increments X1, X3 or X7. Same for deceleration or decelerate to stop with single button.
Also access to 9 functions plus head light. Points can also be operated if so desired.
I have been using XPA since release (few yrs ago) and have no problems with it.
Admittedly it does take a bit of practice to become familiar with it but then most new things do.
