Realistically, for the work I do, a DCC controller is going to be essential and I quite like this one. <br /><br />For £90 or so, it's more expensive than a Gaugemaster hand held but has as close as I can get to the ergonomics. I'm not converted to DCC though...<br />Phil Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673614093646938053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340207.post-87108416507488413042016-04-30T13:49:49.085+00:002016-04-30T13:49:49.085+00:00Hmm...
