Want the ultimate in model railway operation - real cab control? Convert your models to radio control using the LC302. At 24mm x 18mm x 10mm, the LC302 is the tiniest RC speed controller on the market, with a super-efficient voltage drop of only 0.25 volts to preserve battery life. It's microprocessor brain provides superb control with no jerks, allowing the use of cheaper radio equipment, and full proportional control from crawl to maximum with automatic drive at any speed, controlled acceleration £49.95

You will also need a transmitter/receiver Combo set (around £35 for the pair) and rechargeable loco batteries (various shapes and sizes from £8 for 6 volts or £16 for 12 volt - full details in the catalogue) so you can convert an existing loco using our equipment from about £100. You will also need a charger.

The system is designed for O gauge, but with output currents of up to 5 amps it can be used on larger models as well. Some HO and OO gauge models can be converted as well.

The range of conventional model railway controllers by Modular Controls was sold to Roger Murray Colour Light Signals.

We truly believe that the LC302 is the best RC speed controller available for model railway use anywhere.  However, don't just take our word for it - check out the competition.  Some devices include the transmitter and receiver in the device, rather than using separate RC equipment, so some questions do not apply (marked *).  When comparing units, you might like to consider the following:

• How big is it? - The LC302 is only 20 mm by 24 mm by 10 mm
• What is the current carrying capacity? - Both the LC302 can supply up to 3 amps as standard, or 5 amps to order, making them suitable for the full range of motors up to Gauge 1
• How large is the voltage drop in the controller? - The LC302 drops a tiny 0.25v, meaning more of your precious battery capacity reaches the motor
• What features does it have? - The LC302 is microprocessor controlled and has sophisticated interference rejection algorithms giving smooth control of small motors over the full range. Cheaper controllers designed for model cars and boats can't do that.  
• Can it use cheaper radio equipment reliably? (*) - The LC302 can - as well as sophisticated interference rejection, in the event of signal loss it holds existing speed as standard so no jerky running.
• What are the arrangements for centre adjustment for different transmitters? (*) - The LC302 is pre-adjusted for Futaba transmitters; a one-time 30 second adjustment for other transmitters
• Does it have a BEC circuit for receiver? - Fitted as standard
• Cost - The LC302 costs a mere £49.95

The LC302 is supplied with comprehensive instructions and a fuse holder and fuse.
