It does the job. Its a bit cheap and plasticy as you would expect from a hornby product. I had to remove a bit of plastic inside jamming the switch, not sure what use it had because it fitted into it somehow but works fine now without it. On a brighter note, it runs the locos smooth and well.

Bought to replace old 900 power controller. Controller appears to be well built but a bit flimsy, transformer is a standard piece of equipment and of good quality. The controller lacks the versatility and power of the 900 which had 2 levels of power. Control of the item on the track is adequate but not great. This item is ok for a beginner with a very small set up. I would suggest that it is slightly overpriced.

Tidy unit, good quality, but lack of instructions major problem. direction switch only moves when powered down/off. stated as ideal for beginners, so info vital. cut out operates at least accidental short or overload, & stays off for ridiculously long spell/ or needs plug/adaptor removed as it seems to have cut-out too. This causes long periods of inability to operate when fault is corrected.

Great value for this well known brand, simple to connect and operate and usually give many hours of enjoyment.

The train controller is from a set with some some surface scratches but was tested by seller . It works well and is easy to use by turning the front knob. Direction of the train is directed by sliding an arrow bar , left or right. Remember to return the knob to zero before changing direction. If a train shorts the controller, it takes a few minutes to reset.
