The simplest answer is not to modify the controller but to replace the power
unit/transformer - i.e. the thing that comes in the yellow box that you plug
into the wall and then into the controller.
By one from any electrical store - get one with 1.5volt settings, 1.5, 3,
4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 11.5 & 12v settings. Then just change the setting to what
you require.
I do this as I have my trains at exhibitions and let the children opperate
them and I don't want to spent my time re-railing the trains.

David
