WELCOME TO

KEN'S HOBBY ELECTRONICS PAGE

Model railroading electronics that stand the test of time. I've produced some of these designs since 1990 and continue to receive praise from my customers, both new and old. All original designs and completely manufactured right here, not in Asia. Never have been, never will be! I'm not going away anytime soon and will continue to support both my products and customers with the extraordinary service and high quality products that they have come to expect from me over the many years I have been producing these items.

The new information keeps on coming! January 2009 addition is the new, updated 751K MOSFET based model railroad turnout switch for Kato and other single coil units. 

Hey, speaking of past customers, I want to show folks on the web photos of your applications of my products. If you have a photo or two and a brief explanation of the material, get a hold of me by clicking the contact link below. My new hosting service is going to allow me to increase the amount of material I post and I'm eager to post your photos!

My audio products have been re-located to my new vacuum tube audio products web site at http://www.classixaudio.com

THE FINAL WORD

You know, I really hate the economic climate that's so overpoweringly present. I don't agree with a lot of the corporate bailouts, underhanded political crap and a myriad of other manipulative actions anyone can see on the 6 o'clock news. I was very impressed by a forwarded email I received recently. I've taken the liberty to put this email on my web site for anyone who might want to take the time to read this man's opinion. It's a worthy read.
