For such a simple controller, the slow speed control is great, recommended.

Thanks for the replies, Armin, I am also considering the controller you linked, it is simple and seems to get good recommendations on performance. My main reason for looking at more involved controllers is for the experience it brings in researching and building; I think it maybe a good idea though to start with the simple controller and look at ways to make additions in the future.

Hi, I am looking to construct a suitable analogue dc controller for a new n-gauge layout, by suitable I mean reasonably cheap, satisfiying to build/ use and improves my electronics skills. I have come across this http://www.merg.org.uk/merg_resources/other.php, on the MERG website, under Controllers - Basin Street Controller, on the bottom half of the page; would anyone know if this controller is suitable for n-gauge, (HO is mentioned in the text description), without modification, thanks.
