Works well, easy to use. Some reviews say it doesn’t allow the engines to go fast enough; but it seems perfectly ok to us. Neat design, easy control knobs. We made is little shelf to sit on.
Controllers arrived in good condition and run’s trains well in either direction.
an easy to use and assemble hornby controller, a massive upgrade!
Easy to setup and use top quality, very happy with
Bear with me here…..now…..
Despite having one of these myself, I’ve never had the need for actually using this controller previously, but still have my old one. To explain my father had it, didn’t want to keep it & handed it on to me.
Anyway, recently he got in touch and asked me where it was. I told him it was in storage and he just said “Ach, I’ll get a new one”. I purchased this through Amazon, it was sent to him directly and is THAT easy to set up, a registered-blind partially sighted chap of 79 can manage it.
If you’re the old school modeller who can remember the Hornby 910 & 920 big chunky control boxes, then this will feel nostalgic and yet a large improvement on them, but still with a nice big dial you can turn. Way way better than the grotty little black/red things added in trainsets anyway.
Best results are by soldering the wires to the track directly, not using the track clips that Hornby supply. The main benefit my father has from this is being capable of operating 2 lines without the required 2 mains sockets or power packs. It’s reasonably lightweight but heavy enough not to slip around when in use & saves having 2 small controllers needing to be screwed to a board.
My father has never been happier and I think he would like to have another, even just to operate a third line.
If you want to run DC with a touch of luxury, get this & bin the cheap black efforts
A new controller for my model railway, very quick service and well packed
Had 1 of these before hornby must have changed the dimensions has a different mains connector plug doest fit into space i had made for previous controller the leads supplied dont have connectors on the end for connecting to track dont buy 1 of these second hand as you dont know how it been treated an excellent easy to use controller with 4 connection points for accessories
If your looking for a decent controller for your model railway then look no further. I upgraded from the cheap 11.99 controller that came with the Beatles Yellow Submarine Eurostar.
Works well as replacement for my original controllers that are something like 40 years old and recently saw the light of day.
Easy to use and connect to layout. Be careful not to overload the circuits as the failsafe will cut in and takes a while to reset itsself.
Good item, arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date and well packaged.
invoice price minus vat (channel islands vat exempt) cost price include vat. not happy,watch this space.
