G-Scale Graphics, 4118 Clayton Ct., Fort Collins, CO 80525, has added a new product to its line of Critter Controls. The “Simple Critter Control” is a small low cost manual speed control designed for roof mounting. The 1” square circuit board lies flush under the roof while the built-in speed setting potentiometer, which can be disguised as a roof vent or smoke stack, protrudes through the roof for easy access. A full 5-amp motor driver with easy 4-wire connection for $39.

Critter Controls are a simple alternative to control battery powered large scale locomotives of all sizes; from basic speed control to full automation.
