    It's probably Elmer's - been around for years.

    "That relies on the user have information a PC" ?? A programming track is just a short length of track on a piece of strip wood - so I haven't a clue as to what a working programming track is. The programming track can be taken to the PC. The advantage of a SPROG is that all settings are saved for each loco. Further each CV is explained in English what it does so all manner of things can be adjusted, such as speed tables and curves very easily. Far easier than putting numbers into CVs.

    Alternatively buy a SPROG and download DecoderPro. Far and away the easiest way to programme locos.

    Redgate Models does re-magnetisation.

    Some broadband providers do SIM only deals. For instance Plus Net does a SIM only for £6/month.

    They are 20v 2.5amp. Available on ebay at about £80.

    For £100 you can get the hand unit (£43) a command station (£34) and a booster (5 amp) (£30)

    No it's meant to be like that so your right hand is free to do other stuff.

    The glaring omission to me is Edwardian (early 20 century) Figures. You have Victorian and 1920/30 so 1900 to 1920 would be nice.

    XPS is extruded polystyrene as opposed to expanded polystyrene used for disposable cups, packaging etc. This will attack PVC insulation in time. What you describe as expanded, coming out of a can, is polyurethane foam.

    Station Yard working - they are not in section.

    Meths (properly Methylated spirit) is basically Ethanol to which Methanol has been added together with Pyridine (which gives it its purple colour and nasty taste) to prevent it being drunk and so can be sold without any duty being applied. It smells so that might put you off but it will work. The Meths for Methfix transfers is the same stuff. If you can get it I would use IPA.

    The locomotive has to be opened up for routine maintenance so why not now?

    Yes they look the job. Diodes - the 1N400X series will do the job.

    Another vote for Torx bit but put a small dab of super glue on the end as well.

    RS do quite a number of three way Toggle switches that look to be what you want. An example is their 734-7050. You would control operation by suitable use of diodes.

    No - they are still made in Dudley

    Does the cistern have an isolation valve before the cistern? if so you could close that and then take off the connection to the cistern and then crack the isolation valve to see if any water comes out. If it does then a faulty cistern valve if not it's something else - airlock? Is it a side entry or bottom entry? DUDLEY TTR probably means it was made by Thomas Dudley.

    A true "Y" has unhanded split-deflection switches. A turnout with contraflexture does not.
  22. meil
    They are almost certainly ordinary turnouts with reverse curvature - not 'Y' turnouts.
  23. meil
    Very uncommon in the UK.

    Point 1: Tortoise sugest a SPDT switch not a SPST. Point 2: That only works if using AC

    And with your camera on your phone you can pay it in that way!
