Like you, Matt, I opted for a control alternative that enables very smooth
starts and stops. In my case, the answer was the ZIMO line of decoders. TCS
would be a close second choice if "Made in America" is important to you.
My favorite decoder in the ZIMO lineup has wires for attaching keep-alive
batteries which are a great assist to put it mildly. Another feature of the
ZIMO decoders is something called "Smart Stop" which, in a nutshell, means the
decoder will not stop the loco on a dirt spot. Thus, it always starts up
without the need to thump the table.
Not trying to start a control technology debate here, but merely trying to
point Matt in a direction that he might find pleasing. Worth exploring at any
rate.
Good luck....Ed Loizeaux
