as this could damage the controler and/or the decoder

Don't remember seeing that in the manual - I use a Lenz LH100 for the G/45mm in the garden & of course that's exactly what the kids do - so far (touch wood) nor harm has come to anything, although the decelleration/accelleration has been set to give very gradual speed changes so the locomotives are stopped before changing direction.

Good points from 34c.

The thing to remember is that DCC cannot make a bad runner better (in some, if not most cases it will be worse!), but it will make a good runner better when correctly set up.
