Hey all, I have been looking for new ways to help out the community much like I do with my custom track and I was wondering if there may be some interest in high amp train controllers much like the ones some train clubs all ready use. A stock Lego train controller uses an input of .7 amps and while this is adequate for most, some have desired more power for there larger longer trains. I have recently figured out how to both up the amperage to somewhere closer to 1.2amps while also keeping the controller cool so that it does not over heat. Is this something that you would be interested in for around $65 a controller? thank you for your input, ondrew
