soldering Iron recommendation sought

[s.e.charles]

anyone have a favorite soldering iron with an on/ off switch? under 75 watts is fine - to be used for model electronics. a "soldering station" would also work; I just want an "off" feature.

On our side of the pond, I’d recommend Weller or Hako.  Weller has been around forever and has a wide range of soldering irons and stations. Hako is a favorite in electronics industry (aka Silicon Valley) but is more expensive than Weller.   Also check out some of the model railroad websites- every serious model railroader has at least one or two soldering irons/stations. (My favourite site is Model Raiload Hobbyist-   https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com)
