Hammant and Morgan (H & M)

(Watford, UK)

Many H&M controllers/transformers are considered 'bullet proof' and numerous early models are still in regular use today, the most popular probably being the venerable Duette. Other units have names such as Powermaster, Clipper, Safety Minor, Super, Monitor, Victor, Powapack and Flyer. H&M also produced related products including cut outs, point (switch or turnout) motors and passing contact switches. A selection of H&M products is illustrated below, without attempting to illustrate every variation of every product. H&M was purchased by Hornby, 1980s, with the H&M name applied to Hornby controllers.
