I forgot to mention that I actually use 7 PWM DC controllers and 7 voltage controlled DC controllers. DC controllers and how good are they for a model train railways. A quick look at just what can be done with them. Old style DC controllers have the advantage of quieter engines, cooler motor running so less wear, but the controllers are warmer, which is what H & M are large and metal. This means pulling long trains at speed they are better which is why I went for H & M rather tan DCC. Disadvantage is stuttering at slow speed. Modern DC and DCC controllers heat the loco motors far more because they are pulse width modulated rather than voltage modulated.
Go to modelrailmusin... for a better understanding.
Enjoy, kind regards
