spenc Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 "good but a bit pricey" All things from Peco are over priced, Take their micro switches, at over £5.00 each. You can get equivalent from "Rapid" for less than £1.50. Same for their turnout awitches. I would never buy their electrical bits because of the price they over charge. I agree Peco are over priced but our local model shop did not have the motors i wanted i did not want to wait a few days for some to come in the post and Peco is just around the coast from me.

spenc Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Well back to work tomorrow having last week off plus having a great day last Tuesday with family celebrating being 60. I managed to wire the Pecos smartswitch in set them up and all working good I also renumbered the 31 and weathered it and a VAA wagon then ran out of paint so that's it for now. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
