  1. The PECO passing contact switch differs from the Hornby one in that the PECO switch only gives one pulse per throw. There is a description here how it works http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/CDU - overview/CDU - Overview.html
  2. Not read it in a long while but found it an enjoyable read along with 'Steam Was My Calling' by E.S. Beavor. Other similar books to look for are the D. Bradford Barton Ltd 'railwayman's memories/reminiscences' series. I think I will get them off the shelf again when the cold winter nights start to draw in.
  3. An on-on switch does not function the same as a passing contact switch which only gives a momentary pulse when it is thrown.
  4. New Brighton at near capacity today coping with the busy Bank Holiday traffic with a train from Liverpool arriving and leaving every 30 minutes...
  5. http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=GM863
  6. It's meant to be light hearted banter, just something to chuckle at like the rest of the posts.
  7. Being green it is an easy mistake to make.
  8. "I've just got off the bus, can you come and pick me up?"
  9. Also , Bachmann have only removed Hattons from their list of stockists within the last month.

  12. Possibly an early version ADS-8fx before they 'added features'.
  13. The internet itself is not free. Virginmedia are having a laugh increasing my basic broadband only package to over £40 per month. Time to look elsewhere.
  14. From the occasional times I've looked, Bachmann have never stopped listing Hattons as a stockist on their website.
  15. And while it may only cost coppers to do, by the time everyone along the chain adds their mark up it soon rockets.
  16. Will give a circuit of around 80m(metres?)
  17. The sign writers have missed it out on my two local stores, must be the same firm that did the sign for The Asda.
  18. My local Home AND Bargains only has UHU, at £1 per tube. I recently saw this on a traders stand at a local exhibition for £3.00
  19. Can't they be added to the original thread instead of starting a new one?
  20. I enquired as to the purpose of the 'control unit' and whether the present range will come with one...
