  • Most critical review

    My least favourite controller so far, but it may depend on the application.

    This controller has two output settings to the track, intended to moderate speed or help pull heavier loads. My layout is only small, so I don't have any Flying Scotsmam style locomotives with multiple large carriages. Maybe I'm not seeing the full benefit yet. The R965 sends my light engines round in two thirds of the time. You will require the Hornby P9000w power supply (19V, 0.5A), which can be routed under your track. There are spring clips to power your accessories, like points motors. There is a lead (not shown) to power to your tracks that can also go under the rails. There are grooves underneath to slot onto screws to hold it onto your board, wall, etc. It is not a sealed unit, like the R965. The build quality is similar but my dial fell out immediately. I don't know if that is usual. It produces a hum as the power is increased just before the engine moves. I've kept it, and I may appreciate it more in the future. After comparisons today, it will be my last choice for the timebeing. Other controllers and adaptors are available for a similar price. Maybe my one is flawed, but I'm unlikely to buy another to find out.

    I ordered it for my grandsons who live 250 miles away so I have not been able to review this product. When I visit my grandchildren next month I will then review my purchase

  • Some issues have

    Issue I had is that I have an old Triang Hornby Engine and found that these modern controllers are ok for modern engines but do not have sufficient output to drive my older engine. So Unfortunately I had to source an older 2nd hand controller that had more amperage output. Therefore I now have a controller surplus to requirement!
