reading these reviews , perhaps I'm either unlucky, or my face does not fit, with them. when they were first available, I asked Invicta to get me a Mini trains #2003 contractor's loco, THREE WEEKS later, I queried it's non arrival. finally contracted Andrias in Germany- to be told that Invicta had never placed my order- finally got one elseware recently ordered a Ratio 502 cattle dock kit from them -- It's been nearly five weeks, now, since ordering-- I leave you to draw your own conclusion. looks like all my orders will be made somewhere else in future.

Being reluctant to solder directly to the terminals of the Roco 10775 8-way point controller, I want to use the supplied 10603 three way connectors, but i have hit a 'snag'. the reccomended Roco three-way flat ribbon cable is unavailable at the moment in the UK. I have tried cutting out some of the strands of 1 mm ø wire to reduce it to 0.9 mm ( the size of the hole in the plug, but then, once assembled, the assembled plug wont fit onto the terminals on the 10775 . my question is, what size wire do i use and where can i buy it, now that Maplins have gone bust ?

the fact that the controller has a 'P' sticker denotes that it is the later parallel MTS controller - all the manuals including the CV settings are downloadable from the LGB website did you get the programming 'head' that clips into the handset, ( should be included in the 'starter' set.) ? I bought all my LGB, before Markelin took them over and the prices went astronomical. I use this set-up with radio control to run my garden railway.
