Just wondering if anyone has any advice / experience for when it comes to these two brands...
Currently getting components together for Rainton’s La2a build for which the Sowter seems to be a popular alternative to the, now prohibitively expensive UTC transformers. AMI do some UTC replacements but it seems that, until recently, they were only available to buy in bulk, so can’t find any information on how they stack up vs the Sowters
I’m inclined to go AMI as that would seem to be a closer direct replacement for the original transformers, but being pretty new to DIY don’t how these two compare to each other as brands.
appreciate any insights anyone can offer
thanks
