dgilbert2 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think we've made this point before, but it really narks me that one of our supposedly reputable dealers would even try to make a sale out of that let alone charge £40 for it. Are they not even bothered about their reputation? I agree, my respect for that seller has gone way way down! I've bought items from them in the past but are they now that desperate! ..and what a load of spin about the broken roof - what a load of ......

Il Grifone Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 But one does 'have an ill fitting roof'! Which one is that? None of them fit properly! The track is probably missing, because it has warped so much that it was thrown out. It has a reserve, so presumably at least £50 is expected - they are rare, but.... A loft is probably one of the worst places to store things made from acetate, with the extremes of temperature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it's been relisted! IMHO 200 ohms is rather high for a model railway (I used one for pulse power many years ago and only about a quarter of the track gave any measure of control). You can buy a new controller for that sort of money, but at least this is a "'rare" item that actually is, for once!

Il Grifone Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hang on a minute, 80 sovs for the privilege of possibly electrocuting yourself? Always a risk building your own controller, but keeping mains voltage well away from everything else should be safe - leave transformers to the manufacturers.
