My famous, incredible and amazing layout !

[Colbert]

I mounted a Kadee coupler a Hornby wagon (the one just behind the little switcher) because I wanted to run Hornby rolling stock and American locos together. It needed a major surgery on the Hornby wagon. I used a very old Kadee coupler.
It works very well as you can see !

And it runs very well ! And yes, It's a Chessie switcher !

Now, the big controller:

Nice job on the throttles.

The special of the day: a dragon on board.

Did you capture the Loch Ness Monster? Or maybe Chessie, the legendary sea monster of the Chesapeake Bay?

I built my first PWM controller with cheap Chinese product ($4.00 !). It works very well...so far !

Motor Speed Controller DC 6V 12V 24V 28V 3A 80W 1203BB PWM Motor Driver Reversing Switch Speed Adjustable

It has a very clean look to it, Nice tidy wiring.

Well done!

Yes much better than mine, but I use mine for a variety of purposes,

 

[Colbert]

Well done!

Thanks !

I forgot to mention that a PWM controller does not work with DCC equipped locos as far as I know. First test of the PWM controller. Works fine IMHO.

 

[Colbert]

And now, three tracks...and three controllers !

Another test with my PWM controller. A big diesel at very low speed.

PWM controllers are supposed to provide excellent low speed running and constant speed over turnouts,
around curves and up and down gradients. Hope that helps...

Interesting Christian, I never knew any of that, thank you.

Please note: PWM controllers DO NOT work well with everything. In some cases this can become an electrical disaster.
