basically what he wants to do is run `massive long trains' like the n scale guys do- but he wants to stay in ho- so garden running is his only option
he has had previous experience in it (back in the 70's mind you- pizzacutter locos etc etc) but wants better reliability (no having to go outside and do the `hand from god' pushstarts on dodgy track)
he said that his previous effort was quite usable with a quick track scrub with a scouring pad in an old track cleaning car but was prone to stalling in places- hence my thoughts about a higher track voltage using pwm to give speed control
