Hornby HM2000 feedback controller?Is the HM2000 a feedback controller?

I thought the feedback one was the HM4000 but i could be wrong

The blurb on the Hornby website says "Power output is two Amps, with compensation to regularise speed under varying conditions of load." which makes me wonder if it's a feedback controller. I wish they would make themselves clear.

It does sound like it might be then , but i would have thought that if it was they would have said so

It doesn't even say what voltage the outputs are on the Hornby page.

Well it is made for them , but if its anything like the old H&M controlers it will keep going for years . I still have my old 'clipper' from the 70s and it works as good as the day i got it

I have a liitle hornby one, 3 AGW's and a modern bachmann piece of plastic.

The ones i will be using on the layout are ECM feedback ones . They are panel mounted ones so they are ideal for me

Hmmm, your loco's use old N Gauge chassis don't they? Feedback controllers aren't good for them or coreless motors. Might be ok for modern N Gauge I suppose, but Dapol say not to use them. Unless it's for your OO layout of course.

They are the old Farish chassis They seem to be ok even after running for half hour or so

The HM 2000 is not a feedback controller the 4000 is though. I have a 2000 and the the 4000 version lefthand side add on. The 4000 bit is the better controller but when running Hornby Dublo locos they tend to trip the cutout switch.
