jhock Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Can any one tell me the difference betweena Gauge master 100M controller and the SF series single controller? I have both and different loco's run better on either controller, I am just curious as to what the difference is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhock Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think it is feedback but I have no idea what that is or what it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 10, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think it is feedback but I have no idea what that is or what it does. Taken from the Gaugemaster website. ??? FEEDBACK: Feedback controllers create a closed loop between the controller and the locomotive which senses the load in the circuit and constantly adjusts the output. This will maintain the locomotive at an even speed up and down gradients and around curves without altering the regulator of the controller. Feedback controllers are not suitable for Portescap or other coreless motors or for poor quality mechanisms particularly in ???N??™ and other small gauges.

I also think the diffence is that the 100M can take a handheld conroller in the back.Looking on the website I can't see the SF model listed.It may be discontinued.I can't believe the prices of the controllers these days.

Thanks for that, my american stock seems to run better on the 1OOM, the SF series I have does have socket for hand held, I have one that fits it. I bought these some years ago, I think they where about half the price they are now! I just checked the price, I paid ??30 they are ??70 now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
