Hi there from NW UK. I run Gauge 1 locos with scratchbuilt 10mm Standard gauge steam and diesel loco outline bodies mounted on Playmobil and Bachmann power bogies and chassis. I have a double track layout, using vintage H and M Clipper 12 volt DC controllers, one for each circuit. Looking to upgrade at reasonable cost higher than 12 volt for more power. Any suggestions please? Are Gaugemaster best? Or are there cheaper alternatives?IMG_6757.JPGIMG_7157.JPGIMG_7152.JPG

I've added some photos to give some idea of the size of my indoor oval layout, with some of my stock. Some use Playmobil bogies to power the tender, others use Bachmann chassis.

Thank you!

I think you will find the higher output Gaugemaster offerings a good buy. Have had one in the past and a friend used one also before moving to DCC.
