I would like a pulse power throttle but am saving my pennies for DCC. Since
I'd need several, a more basic design that hits the 20 dollar price point is
desirable. If it has a trimpot to set the upper range which is accessible
from the outside, even better. We can drill our own hole in the case I
guess. Or just leave it set down low when we put the case together for that
fiddleproof show solution...
