It's more than a transformer — it's a real model railroad power controller and there's never been anything quite like it before! It gives you full control of direction: when your train stops it starts again in same direction without jiggling into reverse first. Panel meters indicate voltage and amperage. Just like real railroads, it has exclusive "Dead Man's Control" — if throttle is let go, train halts. Built-in Circuit Breaker shuts off current if transformer is overloaded or if a "short" develops on track. High impact case. Has on-off switch.
