   Hubberts Bridge 23rd Feb?? Do you have any more details as I may try to get along to that one.

My layout is DC with over 30 locos and i was getting a hankering for walkabout controllers as i do not have 6 foot long arms and eyes in the back of my head. Then i read a post on battery power radio control!.

My layout will now be a DC/battery hybrid until battery technology gives us high power tiny batteries (they are under development). Then i will convert all the locos and switch off the Gaugemasters for ever.

Or get a Morley controller with plug in hand helds

Got seriously interested in one of those myself but chickened out at the last minute and went Gaugemaster based on nothing more than conservatism. When I get really fed up with all the humming I reckon Morley is the way to go - and not expensive either - unlike that jokey DCC stuff.

Hi ParkeNd,

Don't feel bad about using Gaugemaster!   I prefer Gaugemaster - it has a better "feel" in the hand; (the Morley feels lightweight to me), I prefer the reversing switch rather than a dual direction knob, Morley don't have a centre detent which I find awkward and doesn't have 16vDC (just a built in CDU).

I am sure that Moreley's are perfectly good and high quality, but the Gaugemaster way has advantages too!

Cheers  Jon

Thanks Jon. It does work very well I have to say. Just worried when it started humming that I had wimped out.
