Hi Tom, I've been travelling (its what pays for my trains), sorry for the late response. I had a sort of modular set-up for which a full-blown permanent control panel was not practical. I purchased 8 of the Kato switch controllers. 3 of them failed (i.e. stoped operating) within 100 operations. And believe me, electrics are the strong point of my model railroading. I replaced them with medium-quality DPDT center-off sprung switches that have worked as flawlessly as expected through at this point thousands of operations. I know others who have experienced multiple early failures with the Kato controllers.
