Any cheap & easy remote control?

I use analog LGB control. So, I can only control speed from one location. ::)

Is there any cheap and easy (off the shelve product without DIY) device which I can plug in and control the track voltage remotely?

I have only heard good things about G Scale Graphics but (why is there almost always a but)! ...........
Going back to the first decade of this century Aristo's 10A train engineer generated a fair amount of debate concerning the use of pulse modulated power for some brands of locos. Aristo's units had a switch enabling the choice of pulse or linear and they recommended linear for all but their own brand of loco.
The G Scale Graphics unit doesn't appear to have such a switch so I respectfully suggest contacting them for an authoritative opinion on this prior to any possible purchase.
 
I've been running G Scale Graphics in my LGB locos since 2010 with no problems. I suggest you contact Del and he will explain all of the details to you.
 
Whilst I agree with Neil (above), I understand that the frequency used for the pulse has increased significantly in recent years since the Train engineer and that this is less of a problem than the older systems. Still best to ask the manufacturer though!

I agree. Here's a link to GscaleGraphics discussing PWM

Well, you could look at something produced in the UK rather than abroad. I am not completely familiar with Brian Jones products but I do have a couple of locos just awaiting control systems on a battery basis but his products will be my first choice when I move the project off the back burner.

Another alternative is to discuss your needs with Peter Spoerer. I've always found him to be very helpful, knowledgeable and indeed enthusiastic about radio control

We make a unit which takes power from an external supply (you can pull accessory power from an existing controller, or use your current controller with the speed turned all the way up), it then has a wireless control which allows you to adjust speed and direction.
