Does the 8879 work with the same IR receiver? I couldn't figure that out from the website.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. Off to buy a new controller ... Unfortunately, 8879 has been discontinued. I actually have one, but it's broken.

When I drive my trains, I find that when trying to slow them down as they come around a curve I often end up stopping them instead. Some time ago, I saw a post (maybe here, maybe not) that showed how to add a structure to the remote (8885) to provide better control, but now I can't find it. Can anyone help?
