MRC Tech 7 dual control power Pack
Purchased this unit to replace a Tech 4 dual controller which still works fine. I like the new design and slightly higher "VA" output. It runs two N Guage trains and layout lighting with ease. As with the Tech 4 the control dials are smooth and have a nice feel when adjusting locomotive speeds.

Operations
It isn't as responsive as the " Tech-2" . That being said, I believe that it will be an asset in my train yard. I am converting to DCC, but still have around 30 non DCC engine's which I plan on being active in a new train yard that I am building now.

Great train controller
This controller works great for controlling my 2 HO trains. It has plenty of power, and at slow speeds, the engines perform flawlessly. I normally end up running the controller around 50% and that gives my engine plenty of power to pull the 25 cars I have hooked up to it.

TECH 7 780
I absolutely love this transformer. I eagerly awaited its arrival. I was very excited when it showed up. It works just fine. I threw away three older transformers because they were not functioning properly.
