Kit to make an inexpensive, safe and easy to assemble a DIY model train DC power pack.
Use for floor layouts, table top layouts, walk around control on shelf layouts, multi-cab control.
Two cab control can be done with two of these assemblies either installed separate boxes for two operators or a single box for one operator.
Get the parts only to install in your own container or get with an optional laser cut box.
