The PWM controllers are a good solution, but you'll need lots of filtered DC power to use them.  A good choice is an old PC power supply, you get tons of cheap DC power from them.  Here's a nice tutorial on how to use a PC supply.

Convert ATX PSU to Bench Supply

You're suggesting to feed the PWMs with an old PC regulated power supply which provides filtered DC ?    Since he has 3 trolleys runs, he could trim each with separate PWM's mounted in his project box.  I use the 12 VDC supply from Micro Mark which provides 33 amps.  It powers DC to my entire layout, mostly for LEDs and custom electronics.
