Best transformers for N?

You might check the flea markets for some older transistor throttles. These can be hooked to the AC terminals of the old power packs.
I have an old one made by Intrakit in Ottawa which has 3 push buttons.
Another is called Pacematic which I think was made by Peter Thorne and described in an old Model RR electronics books.
Both probably over 30 years old.
"Basic" train set power packs tend to have 2 problems. Th N gauge ones have low power. The HO ones don't go down to a low enough voltage for N.


Thanks, David. I'll look into some of these. As mentioned, my current transformers work OK, although it would be nice to improve the low running speeds. One of these throttles sounds like it might be what I need. Rob
