I have really enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling Thank you 😊
You can use a 12v DC Gaugemaster Combi with these locos with no adaptation, as long as you don't go beyond about 15% on the controller; 10% is more than adequate in my experience. I've been using this very successfully on my layout.
Hi Peter, could you tell me if there are any step by step instructions online for adapting the gaugemaster controller, I've had a look but can't find anything?
@Matt Gibbs, speed control is best done with PWM motor controllers: search for "1.8v motor controller" on Google, Ebay, or Amazon and the top result is a 32mm*32mm (1.25 in*1.25 in) green-coloured printed circuit board with a potentiometer and four green screw terminals (-/+ IN, -/+ OUT). Wire the outputs as per normal via a DPDT switch for direction control. In addition to Busch H0f motors, these modules also work well for LGB locomotives, giving good on-locomotive speed control from either batteries or scaling down higher-voltage track power. These can be fed with batteries (3V, 4.5V, 5V USB, …) and cost between $2‒$12 depending on the quantity and delivery time trade-offs. Look around, they can be found with/without fly leads, and built-in on-off switch. Marked with "SKU: 7445", but that doesn't actually help with finding them!

@@MartinLong-y1b so pleased to read that.All the very best with your recovery
@trainman2ify thank you for the reply
Very beautiful layout, good video 👍
Great layout and engine speed, I really, really like this!
Interesting layout, nice work. I created my own version called HOnZ many years ago.
Hi Peter, great tiny layout! Congratulations!
many thanks; a lot of fun, especially since I got speed control

What is the overall size please?
Wait, are these two green engines Polish Gls30 or i need to go oculist?
Super kit

I like the premise of this, but what do you mean by speed control, out of the box they run fast like the old Eggerbahn stuff?
mine don't; I use a derated Gaugemaster W controller. Input is 6v ac and this allows 0-3 volts from the controller at 70% setting
