  1. but not EM What a way to squeeze five words into the three word game
  2. I purchased a Peco set to learn how it is done, and had no problems. I incorporated an omega loop in the linkage to reduce the degree of precision required in the adjustments. However all the separate circuit boards (Servo control board, 4 x frog juicer boards and one DCC board ) is a lot. I then purchased a Signalist SC2 (see Suzie's post # 10) and sourced servo motors and mounting brackets and servo extension cables on E Bay at a fraction of the price of the Peco set up. Again no problems with this arrangement. One of the problems that the OP had was working below the baseboard while trying to set up and adjust points that are mounted on top of the board. In my layout design I anticipated such access problems (from painful previous experience) and arranged for my pointwork to be on a separate piece of 18mm ply roadbed (slightly longer and wider than the pointwork). I worked on this board on the comfort of the workbench, then fixed the board in place when all was working and aligned adjacent track to it (rather like a baseboard join in a portable layout).
  3. Two parties are in a state of contract when consideration, and what is to be provided for that consideration, are agreed. Contracts would not work if they did not exist until payment was made.
  4. With a bit of digital manipulation by Rob, this could be a very realistic scenic layout.
  5. Ian Ian. I get it. To summarise: You don't like sniping and think it should be restricted.
  6. I suspect the lower price because that is what your contract with Hattons says.
  7. Read all about it on the Amish Facebook page. LOL
  8. I read on RMweb of problems with initial batches, which get resolved in future runs.
  9. The alternative would have been to wait until it was all ready then there would be more complaints. Doing it this way, those who get the initial batch are less likely to complain, unless of course, they complain in anticipation!
  10. The fuss started with post #383 when Kris went slightly OTT in his criticism of Hattons, then other posters jumped to Hattons' defence and it went on from there. Edit to spell Kris correctly
  11. throughout various threads
