paulbb Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have a KPC (kent panel controls) handheld analogue controller, model KFS O -specifically for O gauge and good for up to 3 amps- that has suddenly expired, so does anyone know of any companies or individuals that fix these type of units ? Failing that does anyone know of a good hand held controller (analogue only please ) that can be used for a small O gauge layout (10' x 2') ? The ordinary gaugemaster ones for OO aand N seem too slight for O gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doilum Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Look inside for peeling printed circuit board. With care, it is sometimes possible to solder a jump wire around. I love mine if only for the size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 The website referred to by 21C1 above seems to be in a state of flux and does not do repairs to old analogue units which mine is. . The Gaugemaster unit from kevinlms is a panel mounted and would need some modification to become a hand held. Thanks for the suggestions though.

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted October 20, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2020 Contact Pat at Modelex (http://www.modelexmodelrailways.co.uk/). He produced a high power version of his hand held controller for us which we use on Star Lane ( ). It's an 00 scale layout, but we run scale length EMU trains in pairs, which means up to 8 (yes eight!) power bogies being driven from one controller. So 0 gauge would be no problem. HTH.
