Oh David, the standard Elec-trak system is not that bad. It's fine for 
what it is expected to do, and will probably far outlast an Altrax 
controller.

Well, expect for the E15; that was a bad design. But my E20 continues to 
happily roll along over here; another few years and I may flip the 
contactors.
