hey guys, i have only the new cheap type of Hornby standard controller after recently getting into oo gauge which works fair to middlin on new engines and also an older than myself airfix controller built like a tank which is to powerfull for modern locos but works very well with older models that need the extra power.as i have a few early s/h locos i am also looking at getting hold of one or two duettes to power these. some people are giving the duettes a bad go but most i speak to swear by them also after reading up on this link it seems to put them down a bit and says to my surprise that a Hornby r965 is decent. i no the older types can run hot after a few minutes of running but they just dont make them like that any more. also not much mention of the vortrak controllers which appear quite good and i will also be looking at these myself for a permanent controller drew

I've just purchased a limited edition heritage green Bachman named ixion that is double bogie drive it had a factory fault out of the box and didn't run so I am waiting to ge i back at the moment so I think they may not have cancelled them
