A friend of mine got sent this item from his Dutch supplier.

No instructions. The brass prongs are of a thin gauge & are very flexible and are probably 45-50mm long overall. The black wire is also very thin. They don't seem to come anywhere near being capable of sliding under Peco code 100 track, or anything else for that matter.

 

Any one have a clue of how their meant to be used? Do they fold up so that the long prongs sit within the rail web?

 

I can't see what they do that is any superior to soldering a wire to the track! Probably less so. :unsure:

Nothing to do with track at all. They are pick up assemblies for coach lighting or similar...

Now that makes sense. The packet label is very misleading then.

 

Art. nr 60005

10 x HO Sleper

 

for which I took 'Sleper' to mean sleeper. Obviously it didn't translate too well from Dutch.
