I prefer the American Models/OTT Machine Services 2 button controller 
to the stand-alone Lionel button they supplied with sound-equipped 
sets.  The Lionel button slows the train down when you activate the 
horn/bell.  I think there is about a 1.5-2 volt drop across the 
diodes inside.  The AM controller seems to have a voltage drop all 
the time, so you don't notice a change in train speed when you press 
the buttons.
