I haven't used this controller but have successfully used the 35040 to control 2 analogue tracks and a battery operated loco, this was before the controller you are considering became available, I would expect it to work just as well. Range is good so the receiver can be indoors out of the weather, the walk around key fob is handy in case of problems.Hello everyone. I am new to G Scale & this forum. I like the look of the Piko 35028 analogue 5 amp track controller with remote but know nothing about it. Anyone using it & pleased or otherwise please? Thanks Michael
Thanks for this. Hopefully someone has used the newer one and will offer a comment confirming your positive comment.I haven't used this controller but have successfully used the 35040 to control 2 analogue tracks and a battery operated loco, this was before the controller you are considering became available, I would expect it to work just as well.

Piko calls the power supply a "transformer". I'm pretty sure it is a switched mode power supply. You could no doubt power it with a similar 19-22VDC 100w power supply designed for you home country's mains supply. A laptop power brick for instance. Just make sure you've got the + and - hooked up properly. Actually the provided power supply might very well be multi-voltage capable and just need an adapter plug. Many are these days. Perhaps 1to3 could provide a picture or tell us what the power supply label says.I have this system and am in the States.
